WATCH: Driver praised for controlling truck with no brakes DailyNewsSA
Durban - The heat from the recent truck drivers protest may have simmered but a video of a truck driver safely ploughing his truck into an arrestor bed before the N3 Durban bound Marianhill Toll Plaza has gone viral again.
This particular stretch off road heads downwards to the Toll Plaza. The truck driver handles the truck and even straddles between the lanes to warn motorists not to overtake him. Thabiso Tsaoana said, "Stop disrespecting this guy by calling him a "driver" and address him as Dr. Driver or Prof. Driver."
Cynthia Dawn Leader-Boddington said, "Well done to the driver for remaining in control. Cannot begin to imagine how he must have felt - those trucks are huge and powerful, could have ended in tragedy if he hadn’t had the presence of mind to proceed until the safety of others was ensured.
