I cannot believe that anyone who has taken a driving test and who has a license, DOES NOT KNOW THAT ONE HAS TO GIVE WAY TO SOMEONE WANTING TO OVERTAKE.

Interesting... A lot of comments make reference that it is not the duty for the individual driving at 120km in the fast lane to police wreckless driving... i.e. if you are driving in excess of 120km or even at 120km and you tail me at a distance of 5m or less, that constitutes wreckless driving. Well, I will continue to drive in the fast lane at 120kmph and should you, a driver not in a position to "police" the way I drive, need to get passed me, you just go ahead and go around me. I will pay the fine should I be pulled over by the relevant authorities policing these things. Just like how you inconvenience me by driving wrecklessly fast, delaying the middle lane by forcing everybody in your way into it and I must just sit there and hope that the law will action on your need to break the law, than I shall sit in the fast lane, doing 120kmph mind you, and inconvenience you. What can you do? Just go around me and hope that and pray that I do get pulled over by Metro... that's all really. I will only move over in the case of an emergency vehicle, or if someone has their hazzards on indicating that they have an emergency... btw, your supper getting cold on the dinner table, does not constitute an emergency. Btw, I practice what I preach, if I am in a hurry and feel the need to break the law, I will not inconvenience the individual on the fast lane travelling at 120kmph... I find my way around him.

If I am in teh fastlane doing 120kmhr and some guy comes up behind me wishing to over-take, surely he will be guilty of speeding? Therefore by not moving over you are preventing a crime, so they should rather reward us

i've lived in CT 4 10 years now & it's a well known fact that CT's are bad drivers, (we don't talk about CY drivers) sounds like this guy was being stubborn, my lane i got here first.

I think you will find his reason for not moving over is not merely the fact he was flashed, but because the Ghost Swaud Car doing the flashing was right up the rear end of his, whom, if given maybe a little more space and time would have moved over. However, now that the one car is so far up the exhaust of the chap in front, invariably he refuses to give way, until the faster vehicle stops threatening with silly driving. Oh wait here is the dialogue that occurred, "Hey Jim, this pr**k aint moving over, can you get his plate?", Jim replies, "No can't see it, you are too close... hit the blues, we'll show this kn*b!". Patience people, pateince and courtesy.

What a bunch of whining girls. The thing is that for the most part drivers are more aware and better behaved in SA than they are in Massachusetts. Every Prius here is driven by a retard that thinks he is doing the planet a favor by slowing traffic in the left lane and not allowing anyone to pass.

How often do we give way to a fast driver belting it out at 150 kmh when he suddenly cuts in front of you to turn off the road? There are huge trucks and transporters on the road, ever been stuck behind one because "fast driver" wants his "right of way"? Well, until our drivers learn some manners and are considerate to one another, that means allowing a car to move out of the slow lane and overtake a transporter ,I will drive safely and intelligently, fast driver will end up dead.

Did these people not pass their learner tests? It clearly states that you need to move over if somebody indicates their intention to overtake and it is safe and possible to move.

Keep left and pass right, this is K53 rules and everybody that does not know this should retake the test!!! I would actually love to give this Cop a bonus for fining “Steven Taylor” I hope they would fine more people for driving slowly in the Fast lane!!!

All these ps###d off drivers in their fast cars shouting the odds, I think you are full of road rage. Typical of South African drivers with a "me first " attitude. Grow up please.

...and so opens the floodgate for taxis to once again rule the road, drive up other road users behinds, intimidate them, push them into the barrier, box them in, point weapons and firearms at them and this all...all because they can "legally" do exactly as they please in the "fast lane" GOTTA LOVE SOUTH AFRICA!!!

Dear "safe drivers". Driving slowly and driving safely are not the same thing. Its differences in speed that kill, not the absolute speed itself. Of course im not talking about something ridiculous like 120kmhr in a 60 zone, but doing 90-100 in the OVERTAKING lane is asking for trouble. if you're not overtaking anyone, stay out of the right lane.

mmmmm I am not too sure how this "law" works, but tomorrow morning when I am on the N1 stuck in morning traffic I am going to make sure I am in the "Far right hand lane" flashing my lights at all the drivers in that lane "as I intend overtaking" all of them on my way to work......GO FIGURE!!!!!!

What about the reckless Truck drivers that cut in front of you when they overtake another truck ???? They should be fined as well.

The speedometers of these Jap, Korean, Chinese and other crap that increasingly clog our roads show higher speeds than that at which they are travelling.

Keep left pass right---SIMPLE. Doesn't matter how arrogant you think the driver is. People don't indicate anymore and they don't check their rear view mirrors.

What I find funny about this: people in South Africa generally have no idea of the rules of the road, or the flow of traffic. Driving in Europe, although a much higher volume of vehicles on the road, is an absolute pleasure as drivers have been educated properly. In SA people plod along in the right lane @ 110kph with ample room to move over, however they have the misconception that a truck 250m down the road in the left hand lane traveling at 110kph is going to block their way (as if it's stationary). Following the 'keep left, pass right' rule should rightfully be enforceable by law, and any driver forced to undertake a slow moving vehicle, hogging the fast lane, is put at risk by that vehicle. Steven Taylor, keep left slow coach.

I agree with the principle of "Keep Left, Pass Right" but I don't agree that people who are speeding should be allowed to get to where they're going just because they think they deserve to. So everyone else must sit in the left hand lane and the idiot doing 160kmh can stay in the right hand lane because "technically" he's overtaking everyone in the left lane. By all means, enforce this but then have speed traps in the right hand lane that measure that average time that it took a care to get from point a to point b and that way, anyone that continues to speed can be fined as they deserve to be. If it's genuinely an emergency then they can always explain that in court.

@ GOD'S GIFT. Your alias says it all. The Law is the Law is the Law. It is illegal to hold up traffic, regardless of speed, in the passing lane. You are just as guilty of breaking the law as the person is that is overtaking you if that person is doing more than the speed limit. Can you please show us the law that states that the Passing Lane (Right Lane) is made for what you state in your post, and do not bring up the speeding law. That law holds for all the lanes on that road.

I said yes to being fined for driving too slowly in the fast lane but driving at 120km is not slow but the speed limit. Anyone exceeding that limit is breaking the law. Giving way to such maniacs doing over 120 km is just enocouraging MURDER!A driver is usually forced to exceed the limit by such idiots as it is usually a case of increasing speed and find the first available unused space to the left.
