TRUCK DRIVER BAD BEHAVIOUR

Good day,

I am disgusted and in shock. This specific driver in registration DY 11 RR GP on route R21 towards the N12 @ 16:37.

It was raining so hard you could not even see what was happening around you. I was indicating to turn left while this truck was meters away from me. The driver had a striped t-shirt aged in 30's

He was adding speed and pushed the front of the truck infront of my car. Opened his door and told me I must "**** off"... I apologised many times and he did not want to listen, he just told me "**** YOU"

I asked him what his problem is. So he climbed out of the truck and ran to my car and hit my windscreen with force with his closed fist and said "I will **** you" he was repeating himself 3 times and got back in his truck and put his finger on his throat threatening to **** me.

I was in such a shock and didn't know what to do. I told him to leave me alone. While I was trying to drive forward he tried to push me off the road and brake extremely hard for me to bump him.

He was so close to my car, I couldnt even see how close he was, I went in a panic state and he just threatens me. He did not only put my life at risk but all other motorist lives at risk in peak traffic.

Why will a grown man do that towards women? That will be taken as an assault towards woman. Why threaten my life? This is not fair. He must pay for what he has done.

I arrived home and told my father what happened, he is a manager in the transport business. He is CC in this email and all correspondence regarding this matter will be responded by my father and will take this further as a very serious matter because my life was threatened at that stage and my father knows the procedures to follow.

Please contact Paul for further communication **********

Coca Cola was always my brand of choice. This driver has put me in a state that I hate Coca Cola. And I believe that if I take this publicly many people will agree that the Coca Cola Brand is at stake. The standards and people working there are below standards, because this driver was arrogant and showed no respect towards Coca Cola Company. He does not deserve to drive the Coca Cola Brand. He is a disgrace towards the company.

How many times has he done that to people where no one reported the situation? And how many more will he do it to? This has to stop and we need evidence of steps taken against him.

Hope to hear from you soon.
