Wednesday, 6 Feb @ 08h50 - On N1 South just before Old Jhb Road offramp there had been a collision - I personally had been stuck on the highway for about 50 minutes by the time Shoprite Vehicle Reg. YPM481GP Cab No. 3340, came down N1, for leather, inside the yellow lines. Because my vehicle happened to be ever so slightly in his way, he sounded the hooter, flashed headlights at me, without slowing down, and then proceeded to verbally abuse me with a lot of sign language accompanying his tirade. This in blatant view of and directly next to road traffic and health officials at the scene of the accident. He tried, without success to intimidate me out of his way by attempting to drive the truck in front of my vehicle, regardless of whether there was space permitting or not. Never mind basic courtesy. He then proceeded to drive his huge vehilcle directly on the tail of my vehicle, without adhering to following distance rules, flashing headlights as he went. He proceeded to the Shoprite Warehouse on Brakfontein Road, Midrand. Fleet Managers should be made aware of how their company representatives drive and (mis) behave on the road, putting other road-users' lives in danger.
