"He's Testing God": Checkers Sixty60 Driver Spotted Weaving Through Highway Traffic in Flip-Flops

• A TikTok video captured a Checkers Sixty60 delivery rider navigating busy highway traffic on a motorcycle wearing flip-flops
• The footage, filmed from a following vehicle on 4 September 2026, quickly went viral for its jaw-dropping road safety concerns
• South Africans flooded the comments with a mix of concern, humour and disbelief over the rider's choice of footwear

A delivery rider spotted dodging heavy truck traffic on a South African highway in nothing but flip-flops has left the internet equal parts stunned and amused.

The clip posted on 4 September 2026 was filmed from a following vehicle. It shows a motorcycle rider wearing the unmistakable turquoise Checkers Sixty60 branded box on the back, navigating lanes filled with heavy vehicles. What caught everyone's eye was not the weaving through traffic, but his footwear.

The person behind the camera, by @koolmeister23, could barely contain their reaction, laughing in disbelief as the rider continued down the road completely unbothered. Road safety experts and everyday South Africans alike have long raised concerns about the conditions under which food and grocery delivery riders operate. Riding a motorcycle without proper footwear, especially on a busy highway alongside trucks, significantly increases the risk of serious injury in a fall or collision.
