I am writing this complaint at 17h53. I have just got home from visiting my girlfriend from hospital. After what I deemed as a great day, considering that i was visiting someone who is being treated for depression, I was pretty chuffed heading home knowing my girlfriend was feeling a lot more positive about life. On my drive home from Life Poortview hospital via Hendrick Potgieter road to NorthCliff, I drove alongside one of your buses. We stopped along each other at a robot, and as it opened, i drove passed it. The lane narrowed into a one lane, and as opposed to being patient and waiting for someone behind me to allow him into our lane, your driver opted to drive fast and try and overtake me. I hooted as he was about to hit my car. Eventually i sped up, and avoided what could have been a horror accident. In any case, i switched lanes as it opened up to a 2 lane again. Your bus came alongside me, and then your driver opened the door and proceeded to throw insults at me. Me being the person I am, I respond (Not sure if he could hear me, but it not very difficult to return a voetsek to someone who is insulting you for an accident they nearly caused). Then your driver proceed to drive towards my car, and ensured that i had no option but to brake and stop as i was about to hit the barriers on the side of the roads. He parked the bus diagonally to ensure that i could not drive forward as he got out of the bus. I closed my window, and ensured that my car remained locked. He jumped over the steel barriers to collect a large rock, which he attempted to throw at my car before a man from the bus got out to stop him.

I would be lying if i said i wasn't hoping during that moment that he would throw the rock, because I believe i would have had everything right then to defend myself. In any case, a few cars stopped and one guy forced him onto the bus.

I was a regular Putco commuter, and i still have my 2 bus tags to prove it. I have never thought i would have experienced such, whether as a commuter, or as a fellow driver on the road.

I am not sure what it is that you will do, but that is not a driver that should be on our roads.

I managed to get the registration of the bus. It is BZ27NL-GP. I would like to know the full name of the driver, and I would like to know how you will be dealing with this guy, as he is not fit to be risking passenger lives like this.
