• A truck changed lanes and hit a Polo in a video, causing the car to spin around, and it prompted Mzansi to share their bad lorry experiences

The clip comes from none other than the @VehicleTrackerz page, which uploaded the footage onto their Twitter account. It sparked a passionate discussion about how truck drivers are on South African roads.
