Yesterday was not a good day for me, as I had to go make a case at the police office. The case I made is against someone for reckless driving and I wanted to add attempted assault, but the latter does not exist. I explain all this in the video.
Since I came back from Thailand too South Africa, it has really been even more clear to me how terrible the cycling conditions are in this country.
There are some great scenic routes to do for sure, but the drivers here are terrible! Yesterday was the closest I have come to being another dead cyclist on a road in South Africa.
I am very lucky that was not the case and I had some cycling experience to avoid tumbling in front of this vehicle. Many are not that lucky.
UPDATE: The detective assigned to my case has informed me there is nothing they can really do because it's my word against the driver and the person he was towing. I will keep a look out for this person's car as I know what vehicle it is and his number plate, but i doubt anymore will come from this.
