  • Further Evidence Of South African BMW Drivers Being Terrible People

    When the Kyalami sword fight video started doing the rounds, there was so much to unpack.

    The boeps, the dogs, the swords, what David Attenborough might think of it all – the list goes on.

    One thing that many people immediately noted was the prevalence of BMWs in the video, and there was plenty of chat online about this kind of behaviour being par for the course.

    To get a familiar dig in, BMW drivers – it’s the 99% that give the other 1% a bad name.

    The dust has hardly settled on that fracas, and another example of a BMW driver living up to that reputation arose here in the Western Cape.

    Stick the boot in, TimesLIVE:

    A couple who allegedly showed their middle fingers to traffic cameras in the Western Cape received a swift dose of karma…

    The couple was filmed passing an average-speed-over-distance camera in a white BMW convertible.

    The technology calculates the average speed of a vehicle, measured from the time it passes a camera until it reaches a second camera a fixed distance away.

    Here’s the image in question:

    I’ll go out on a limb here and say there’s a 55% – no, a 65% chance – that the bloke in this car has a terrible tribal tattoo on one of his biceps.

    Anyway, about that swift dose of karma:

    “Moments later, they were arrested for speeding and driving with an expired licence,” said Ntomboxolo Makoba-Somdaka, spokesperson for transport MEC Bonginkosi Madikizela.

    “Beware if you wilfully disobey and disrespect provincial traffic services in the Western Cape — we will get you,” Makoba-Somdaka said on Facebook.

    Flipping the bird at speed cameras when you’re driving with an expired licence is the exact kind of thing somebody with a bicep tribal tattoo would do.

    I rest my case.
