driving class: in pictures

hey kids. its driving lesson time. lets go through a few do's and dont's

Do: buy a second hand bakkie from your uncle/mother's cousin (is there an official name for those?) for a pretty good price

Do:  drive your bakkie to your new job in the transkei and use it to gallivant around south africa

Don't: forget that traffic comes to an abrupt halt on the N3 by the pavilion shopping centre, durban. if its your first time driving there well that's just too bad

Don't: crash into someone in front of you while checking your blind spot

However, if you do:

Do: wear your seat belt

Do: crash into a company car which is comprehensively insured

Do: exchange all the necessary particulars

Do: call your friend and go on holiday to the drakensburg anyway

After the holiday:

Don't: worry too much, the flash backs start to go away

Do: take some pictures at the panel beaters of: your car; your passenger who survived; and yourself looking cool

Don't: assume that you do look cool, you don't: but nice try

Do:  tell everyone that your car sustained R34000 worth of damages. even though theoretically over half of that is labour and value added tax. 

 and that's the end of the lesson

now, if only your hospital wasn't 1 hour away from the nearest bus stop by dirt road...
