According to LegalWise, it is an offence to not stop at a roadblock when ordered or instructed by a traffic officer to do so.

Social media users said the driver was frustrated with the ticket and didn't care about the consequences of accelerating away quickly. Here are some more opinions:

3 Short traffic cops and 1 large driver having a fight turned into a funny clip that social media loved

South Africans are rolling on the floor with laughter at a viral clip of three traffic officers who were tossed like dolls by a big man, Briefly News reports.

The video shows the traffic cops shouting at the man to exit his vehicle and he doesn't seem to take kindly to their attitude. Three traffic cops were in for a big surprise when they pulled over a car and a gentleman got out that was much bigger than them.

The officials were loud and aggressive towards the man and that's when things got out of control, he emerged from the car and is much taller and muscular than the traffic cops, in what looks like a road rage incident.
