Reporting reckless taxi driver

Question

While I was on the road this weekend a taxi put my life and the lives of its passengers in danger on the N3 from Durban by driving 150 km/ph - during which it drove less then a second away from the rear of my car and as I let it pass it tried pushing me off the road. I have the registration number of this vehicle and I want to see the driver prosecuted. I will not include any details since I see it unnecessary and unsafe in this country. Please reply, since I am in the mind of going to the police about this matter but feel it necessary to contact this department first. [b]

Answer

You are welcome to forward the information to the Call Centre. Unfortunately, the driver cannot be prosecuted by the National Traffic Call Centre or Road Traffic Management Corporation, but a letter of notice will be sent to the vehicle owner notifying and warning the owner of the driver's behavior on the road. The incident is recorded in the Call Centre database for future reference. Alternatively, you do have a right to open a case of reckless driver behavior against the vehicle owner at your nearest SAPS or Traffic Authorities. This might ensure the possibility of prosecution. Hope you will find this information helpful.
