Bus GBJ 124 FS Passing two vehicles on double solid lines at hi speed
We would like to share an email sent to the Arrive Alive road safety website earlier today. It reads as follows:
On the 10th of July at approximately 13H20 I was travelling from Bethlehem to Bloemfontein and on the road between Bethlehem and Paul Roux I experienced a incident where two government owned buses ( BGJ 123 FS and BGJ 124 FS) fully loaded with kids passed me at a very high speed, both of them taking this action at double solid lines. Attached are photos my passenger took with her cellphone when this happened. There was a very strong wind, right from behind, and these two driver were taking full advantage of this to help them driving these big vehicles at there maximum speed. This is very dangerous and life threatening for the occupants of these two buses. Please investigate and give me feedback in what action is going to be taken.
