I think we all have close shaves and it is experience that takes you out of those situations now. I have done the advanced drivers course which makes you read the road and traffic differently to someone who hasn't done the course. These days I can say driving here in SA you need to be switched on and can avoid two or more accidents daily and sometimes all with 15 minutes. You are always thinking how the other drivers are thinking and can guess their next move as road signs mean nothing here. There are certain roads I refuse to drive due to the standard of driving, the condition of the other vehicles not being roadworthy plus the state of the roads. This week I am flying wasting money where in the past I would have driven the 5 hour trip.

if I have the money I would take that flight as well. I know some South Africans here in Vietnam and the women tell me that at night women are permitted to run red lights because of all the kidnappings and carjackings. Are they just being dramatic or is this a real thing?
It depends where you are and after a certain time you tend to use a traffic light like a stop street and do not wait. I remember noticing someone coming out of nowhere behind my car and was up to no good and tried to run him down. It is something you just have to have and being vigilant is a must.
