Cape Town medics responding to a cyclist knocked down | Milnerton

03 May 2024 - A cyclist knocked off his bicycle by the corner of the trailer attached to a truck. Very fortunately, they sustained very minor injuries.
We all respond differently, in SA drivers are known not to move out the way so we respond more aggressively.

Wow! There were a few drivers that reacted pretty well, but the general vibe very much seems to be to give zero fucks about emergency vehicles. It must be very taxing and stressful to be an emergency responder in such an environment.

Holy fuck people seem clueless.

Wow, I hope to never ever need an ambulance, but if I'm ever unfortunate enough that I need one, I just hope I'm not in SA 😅
Absolutely appaling lack of care / awareness.

It’s like these drivers lose brain cells when they hear/see an emergency vehicle, the state of South African driving is shocking, our roads are ridden with idiots/taxis😂😂

[@simonhill2263]

What a bunch of clueless and unresponsive motorists. That, or they just don't give a crap. Is it always that bad there??

[@matty11123]

Yes. Pretty much most drivers are like in this video. You get the occasional people who care and move over but most just dont care just like in this video.
