Everyone in Mzansi knows that taxi drivers have their own set of rules for the roads. However, one woman was having none of it when a taxi driver was speeding and made him take the backseat, literally.

With expensive cars and fuel, many Mzansi citizens have no choice but to risk their lives every day by taking public transport.

“She broke the law herself, she doesn't have a public license to transport people. We will never get the land back when we allow lawlessness.”

“Then she drives without a seat belt, two wrongs don’t make it right.”

Taxi driver asks lady to hold the brake to go on toilet break, Mzansi peeps cackle: “It’s your duty”

In related news, Briefly News reported that a taxi driver asked a lady to hold the break while he was taking a little toilet break, all because she was sitting in the front seat next to him.

@queenmaseko3 shared the hilarious clip online and got asked why she wasn't wearing any shoes in the first place. The short TikTok quickly spread and amassed over a million views even though it's just a few seconds long.

The most plausible reason why the taxi driver did this is that the taxi would roll back if the brake were to be let go, and the handbrake simply doesn't work. The taxis that exhibit such poor conditions tend to be the older models of minibus taxis.
