Taxi driver caught being 'creative' with licence disc
Newspaper clippings and airtime vouchers used as licence discs? Now you can say you've officially heard it all.
Arrive Alive posted a picture of a traffic officer issuing a fine to a taxi driver for using a newspaper clipping as a licence disc, and as you would imagine, South Africa has been in hysterics ever since.
This is what our @JMPDSafety officers come across during operations, Newspaper pages and Airtime slips displayed on the windscreen as licence disc👇👇 pic.twitter.com/bvCakbAtCf

I just want to know how long this has been going on for and how many other taxis have adopted this new form of identification?!
It's worrying that so many people rely on public transport and no one actually stops to check for the licence before hopping in. It's like an unspoken trust and it is being disrespected.
Wow South Africa you never cease to amaze me wow, this is crazy 🙆🙆😭😭😭😭😥😥😥😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
