Are they a law unto themselves?
So often you can fault them, but who can police them? So they just get away with it!
On 12 September 2007, at 15h00 a truck had lost a load of oranges on the M4 offramp to Victoria Embankment. They did not attend.
East Coast Radio called them and asked to have it cleared. They did not respond.
By 18h15, my vehicle was hit from behind and wrecked. This was the 5th accident on the slippery mess, which Metro had simply ignored all afternoon.
The municipality has refused to compensate for their negligence. Can you fight them with their expensive lawyers Shepstone & Wylie? NO! I lost R200000 beacuse of this! BUT...a friend scratched a mag wheel on a pot hole and they bought him a new set for R12000! UNBELIEVABLE!!
Do the police have a responsibility to clean up the roads after an accident?
Around the rest of the western world they do...but here....too much like hard work!
