Mzansi immediately added their opinion to the tweet and focused on the Polo driver's driving position, with many commenting she is sitting too close to the steering wheel. Others said she didn't want to acknowledge the incident.

According to Legalwise, drivers are not allowed to leave the scene of an accident unless the police tell him or her to do so.

Here are some of the best reactions by Mzansi on social media to the viral tweet:

LeevhuLeaks says:

"She is too close to the steering wheel, that alone is a red flag."

'He nailed a 22 point turn', Mzansi reacts to VW Polo driver stuck in a drain

A poor Volkswagen Polo driver was a laughing stock on Twitter as Mzansi tore into his bad driving skills, Briefly News reports.

The tweet was posted by a Senior Researcher at the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), Dr Ridhwaan Suliman on Twitter with the caption: "Our response to the #COVID19 pandemic.”

The driver then begins to reverse out of the area but the wet grass is the only winner as the front-wheel-drive car struggles to make its way out from the lower section. It ends spectacularly with a burst radiator that spews steam and a more damaged car that finds itself back in the drain.
