Traffic officer hangs onto bonnet as motorist drives off to avoid fine
Above the call of duty! This traffic officer was going to stop at nothing to prevent this motorist from driving away.
As South Africans, we need to remember that we are not above the law and that when an officer of the law stops you, you need to comply accordingly. I'm not even a driver, but I know that.

So there's this bizarre video doing the rounds on WhatsApp and the socials, and I cannot help but scratch my head after seeing it.
A traffic officer is being called 'super cop' by many after seeing a video of her attempting to stop a motorist from fleeing a scene by holding onto the car's bonnet.
Times Live reported that the motorist was trying to get away from paying a fine for using her mobile while driving.
The video shows the brave traffic officer holding on for her life, eventually coming to a stop thanks to a minibus taxi which brings the car to a halt.
Local authorities have arrested the driver and have been 'detained on several charges.'
This looks like a scene out of some action movie. I'm just glad that no one (traffic cop especially) was injured during this insane incident.
