WATCH: Oil tanker on N3 caught SPEEDING – at 123km/h!
We know many of us will be in a rush to get to the fuel pumps before Wednesday’s big price increase. But the driver of this oil tanker on the N3 near Durban is wholly taking the piss. The marauding motorist was filmed doing 123km/h in the fast lane of the highway.
By all means, we’ve already had an oil-related scare this week. The petrol price is going up by more than 50 cents-per-litre on Wednesday, and diesel is set to soar by R1.44p/l. The sight of a speeding tanker barrelling down the N3, therefore, isn’t the scariest thing we see on Halloween…
