Be carefull of SABAT vehicles.
I travel on the R75 between Uitenhage and Kirkwood daily. Currently they are transporting wind turbine parts on convoys of 2 trucks at a time on this road in the direction of Graaff Reinet from Port Elizabeth. So you travel at around 40km per hour behind these abnormal load convoys, and they have intervals where they can pull off the road to let the que behind them, pass and then they continue with the same process. Traffic from the front must also pull off the road when these convoys approach as they take up the entire space on the road. So after sitting behind the convoy for about 40min this morning, they eventually pulled off in their usual spot to let the que which was about 2km long by this time, pass them. I was about 7th in the que and we started passing them slowly and carefully as there was also still oncoming traffic and a slight blind rise just ahead, so caution is of utter importance in this area. The next moment a SABAT branded vehicle came from behind, jumping the que and passing everyone at a very high rate of speed, nearly hitting me and the car in front of me. We had to swerve to avoid contact with him. He was driving like a hooligan and had absolutely no regard for anyone else on the road, and given the circumstances under which it happened I doubt that SABAT have any control over the people they put onto our roads, because 2 days ago while driving in Port Elizabeth, a SABAT vehicle was also travelling at a very high rate of speed on the highway, swerving dangerously around other vehicles. This being my second experience with these hell-drivers in their red cars, has prompted my review, as I feel that they represent this company and that its my duty to warn other road users such as mothers taking their kids to school and people driving to work to be very careful of these SABAT vehicles, as they have absolutely no regard for safety or the lives of other innocent people. The vehicle in question this morning was a red SABAT branded, Mazda Hatchback, with registration number HT 04 WB GP. Only a higher power prevented an accident this morning! And I sincerely hope, that when theses drivers do roll their cars and have a massive collisions, that its only themselves that they take to the afterlife and not some woman and her child with them.
