In the video, quite a few cars drive to an intersection without stopping at the stop sign. Two vehicles arrived at the intersection at the same time. Both cars are small. When both vehicles arrived at the intersection, the small purple car read-tails the small maroon car—the maroon car swerves and tips over before slowly skidding to a halt.

The road rules clarify that drivers should stop at stop signs as this prevents accidents such as the one in the video. Depending on the vehicle's size, a driver may be fined from R500 to R750 for not stopping at a stop sign. Watch the video here:
