Watch: Heart-stopping footage captures overtaking trucks putting lives at risk on the N1 [video]

Ninety seconds of utter idiocy as two trucks go to war.

Watch: Heart-stopping footage

The two trucks occupy the whole of the road, narrowly missing oncoming traffic

The footage was recorded by Rudi Viljoen, on a stretch of the N1 approximately 50km outside of Laingsburg, Western Cape.

One of the trucks tries surpassing the other one by careering into the opposite lane and driving into oncoming traffic. Cars are made to swerve and take evasive action as the two brain-dead truckers play a deadly game of chicken.

Rudi has shared the post on social media after he contacted the owner of Sugarfield (the name emblazoned on the overtaking reckless rig). When he refused to take action against his driver, Mr Viljoen felt he had a duty to expose this lunacy.

Neither of the drivers in the video are willing to relent, despite the innocent lives they are putting at risk. Not one of them reads the severity of the situation or considers any other road user.

Johan Jonck, of Arrive Alive, condemned their actions unreservedly:

“There are NO winners in road crashes. By merely slowing down a bit, the overtaking truck would be able to get into a position of safety much faster thereby reducing the magnitude of risk.”

“We find too often that road users want to “make a point” to the other road users instead of focusing on the most important issue – that of immediate safety”

You can see the state of these two clowns here:

 

Share asb, dat die ……. sy werk verloor, voor onskuldige lewens verloor word #befok
