Archive of BMW Motorrad Club Cape (2006 - 2019)

Dropped my Dakar off for a service at Atlantic this a.m., picked up a loan bike, and on my way back to Hout Bay (08.10 am), a bakkie cut right accross my path whilst looking at me (I had right-of-way). It was a very close-call, luckily I was well under the speed limit, and driving eps, cautiously on a loan bike. So I chased him up Camps Bay Drive, stopped him, took down all his details, then went to see his boss in the Hout Bay Harbour. She was very apologetic, I requested (and was shown) his valid driving licence (they recalled him to base immediately), and now the HR manager is visitng me at home at 11 a.m., to provide feedback. So complaining to the right people has certainly worked: I mentioned that he was very worried about losing his job (the driver) and I did NOT want that to happen, but did explain that if I did not get follow-up from HR, I would report reckless driving to the police. It did not help that, when I walked to the front of his bakkie to take down his registration, there was NO front number plate :(I have requested that they replace the missing number plate withing 48 hours, or will contninue with my report at the police station). So, good follow-up on the company's side thus far.
