Does driving a Metro-owned vehicle make drivers immune?
Motorist writes by e-mail: Whilst exiting the Mall@Carnival on Tuesday (April 21), I was waiting for the robot to change and parked in the second lane from the right.
An EMPD double cab was parked on my right-hand side, also waiting for the robot to change.
As it turned green I pulled away and so did the double cab. This vehicle swerved over the barring white line and I hooted.
The driver then pulled in behind me, and then parked on my left instructing me to turn down the side window.
The woman driving it wasn’t in uniform and reprimanded me to “observe” in future.
I told her not to cross a solid white line without giving the intention, indicators, before doing so! She then drove off in the far left-hand lane, towards, it seemed Boksburg or Dalpark Extension Six.
During our conversation whilst in the intersection, I failed to notice the registration number.
Does driving a Metro-owned vehicle, make the drivers immune to traffic violations?
I mean, there are four lanes in Rangeview Road, the left hand one is for turning left. Three are for straight ahead and for turning right.
How I wish she had pulled me over. She definitely has a serious attitude problem, and that doesn’t fit in with working with the public.
