Watch: Savvy Joburg motorist beats robbers at their own game
A quick-thinking motorist managed to put a stop to a potentially deadly robbery before it even began.
We can pretend that hijackings don’t happen, but they do, and it’s just the reality of living in the world we do.
If we haven’t been hijacked ourselves, I'm pretty sure we know someone who has been. It is truly such a traumatic ordeal to experience. When it does happen, certainly in my case, it was all over before I even realised it had happened. It is so incredibly quick.

Times Live reported how a quick-thinking driver from Johannesburg defied all odds when an attempted robbery was stopped before it even started.
CCTV footage shows a vehicle coming to an abrupt halt in the middle of the road with an intended target in sight, but the target made a U-turn and left the would-be criminals with egg on their face, as they realised that the smart motorist was gone before they could even work out what had happened.
South Africans - be wide awake, all the time.
