Video: Durban taxi driver's brutal road rage incident

Durban taxi driver got filmed by a passer-by as he got beaten by local for supposedly bad driving. Is road rage and violence the right response to bad driving?

t's a very common stereotype to say that taxi drivers are the worst drivers on the road, and not only in Durban, but all over South Africa.

Nothing is as infuriating as someone who will purposefully drive badly on the road, putting you and the lives of other people in danger, but how do we curb road rage?

A video of a taxi driver being beaten by another driver outside the Durban Botanical Gardens for supposed bad driving (according to the video's caption) has emerged on Facebook and it has been doing the rounds, generating a lot of comments, with many commending the man for beating up the taxi driver.


"Its disconcerting how comfortable we are with this kind of violence – and the fact that no one stops it or intervenes – and that it gets filmed – and worse still – that people are applauding the attacker – I don’t know – it’s just really disturbing" - Darren Maule
