When a police chief stopped a taxi driving in the emergency lane on the M1 south, little did he know what else he would find.
The chief of the Johannesburg Metropolitan Police Department David Tembe, stopped a taxi earlier this month for driving in the emergency lane on M1 south at Glenhove off-ramp.

It was then discovered that the taxi was unlicensed and it displayed a strange disc advertising, among others, microwave repairs and washing machine installation. The taxi was impounded for investigation.
Eight other taxis were also fined R500 each at the same spot for using the emergency lane and were impounded for being unroadworthy.
