Other motorists on Twitter alerted the chief to monitor other highways as taxi drivers always offload passengers on them.
They always offload passengers along that highway… no officers to notice that… why are there never officers at the robots at Rivonia and N1S, it's actually ridiculous what happens there….@Dashcampros @PigSpotter

Put him away, I wonder if the owner didn't notice his state when he collected the vehicle this morning
