I hit a minibus taxi the other night...
 Wasnt very serious but I scratched my right mirror... I turned onto a main road and was approaching a intersection, looked in my right mirror to change lanes while I hooked second gear. As I looked ahead of me I saw the traffic wasnt moving on the other side of the intersection so I hit the brakes and aimed for the space between the cars... Mr minibus driver decided to close the gap and sqeezed me between him and a 4x4... I was very lucky... |

Well yeah they are very dangerous...
I would say at least 40% of the drivers dont have licenses. They also think they own the road, they drive in the emergency lane, they will just change lanes without warning and pull to the side of the road when they feel like it, They jump stop signs and red lights... At the end of the day you need to avoid them completely or they will drive you off the road. |
