Durban drivers: Londoner who lives in SA shares crazy experience

Are Durban drivers really this bad?

After visiting Durban, Lala used her social media to share her shock at the drivers in the city.

She started her clip asking drivers in our city to come to the front of the queue. 

“Why did I almost die like four times, because y’all drive like race car drivers,” she said.

She expressed that upon arriving in our sunny city, she came across a driver who was annoyed at them driving too slowly over a freeway undergoing construction. 

“He's upset and then he almost side-swiped us,” Lala explained.

Take a look at the full clip below:

Lala is back in Gauteng and does not think she will ever drive in Durban again. South Africans took time out to head over to the comment section to share their driving experiences in the city:

Paballo Kgware said:

“Now imagine learning how to drive amongst them.”

“We eat hot curry here, we’re always rushing to the loo.”

Ms. Unicorn had us in stitches with her comment:

“You should try riding in a taxi in Durban, that thing goes fast like a plane.”
