The star, who often discusses the concerning rising number of road accidents in South Africa, shared some driving advice he got from his father.

Sizwe Dhlomo’s road safety tip has Mzansi talking

Taking to X formerly Twitter, Sizwe Dhlomo advised his followers to ‘yield and let them go (other drivers). Then go home safely.’ Sizwe Dhlomo posted:

"The first lesson my dad taught me when he taught me how to drive was that you can die even when you’re right. Just yield & let them go. Then get home safely."

Yielding in driving means giving other vehicles, pedestrians, or cyclists the right of way. This has been ignored, leading to several accidents.

Thanks to Sizwe Dhlomo’s huge social media following, he often trends whenever he posts or gets posted.

Against his recent post, netizens quickly nodded in agreement, while others made it known that not everywhere one should yield.

@Amza_5 commented:

"That's me all the time, especially with taxis. Umuntu angaze afele i right of way."

@Benzo_Ndlovu noted:

"Sometimes I don't agree with you on a lot of things, but everytime you mention the aspects of driving I agree with you."

Sizwe Dhlomo’s advice came against the backdrop of popular X user Gugulethu Mhlungu’s post on her recent road incident. She posted:

"Someone tried to make me yield for them when I was already IN the circle, and they had yet to enter, so they almost hit me. Stop buying your licenses."

The posts come barely a few weeks after a string of road accidents.

Netizens blame ignorance for recent Camps Bay accidents

A few weeks ago, a Checkers Sixty60 delivery driver was declared dead on the scene after an accident in Camps Bay.

The police confirmed that the incident happened on the corner of Dal Road and Camps Bay Drive.

Little is known about what caused the accident between the two cars and the Checkers Sixty60 driver, but rumour has it that failure to yield led to the accident.

Recently, a viral clip of a delivery driver colliding with a car in South Africa sparked outrage.
