Wheelchair-bound man navigates peak traffic like a pro

In another story, Briefly News reported about a Joburg guy in a wheelchair who navigated peak traffic.

There’s never a dull moment in South Africa; a recent viral TikTok video proves that! A man in a wheelchair was spotted cruising through peak traffic, and the clip shows him handling the hustle and bustle in Johannesburg like a pro. Complete with side mirrors; the guy rolled through traffic as if his wheelchair was a proper vehicle. He was following all the road rules and turning heads while doing it.
