A taxi driver was filmed driving on the Glenhove offramp from the M1 freeway with what appears to be his leg hanging out the window.
‘Intelligence Bureau SA’ shared the video on Facebook which has started an online debate as to whether the driver actually had his leg out the window or if he was playing a joke in traffic.
Sthobeko Tenderson Mthethwa posted: “Ok but how? Even quantams dont have cruise control. Besides the danger involved, i just want to know how he kept it running at such constant speed with his right leg out and hanging so high? I think thats a fake leg hs just screwing with people.”
Rofhiwa Muthivha said: “Now here is something driving school does not teach you… I need this guy to teach me this skill… Office in taxi.”
Mvuyiseni Em Sofunwa added: “I need this kind of chill in my life.”
Some commentators voiced their anger, saying that the Taxi driver was being irresponsible but apparently the “leg out the window” prank has been seen by many South Africans.
Many social media users have commented about how they have seen it in their communities or even been in a taxi when the driver takes the fake leg out to entertain other drivers stuck in traffic.
