If ever you need to witness how some Mauritian drivers try to escape a traffic jam, you should just spend a few minutes near the Tuna factory, midway between Riche Terre and Roche Bois. People using this road to get to Port Louis surely know what I’m talking about.
Instead of driving along the motorway, they just switch to a parallel secondary road going pass the container park and the tuna factory. Once the end of this road is reached, they now need to get back onto the motorway.
A vehicle joining in the mentioned parallel road :
A security van from Brinks going along the parallel road *Same van can be seen in pics below* :
Well, some of you would say : “There’s nothing wrong in trying to avoid a traffic jam”. True. But the way with which some of these drivers attempt to get back to the motorway is quite dangerous and sometimes aggressive.
No accidents till now but many drivers surely start their day on a bad note. This is definitely not the only place in Mauritius where so-called drivers behave as such, believing that they need top priority to get to their destination.
A bon entendeur, salut!

I guess you are right… La chance ki pas encore gagne accident dans ça bannes cas la.
Enfin if a driver tries to do this in front of me, mo laisse li paC. No point in challenging such drivers. At least I know I am safe and my car is safe. 😛
Si zot sovaz zot envie frauder, ça zot probleme… or maybe they are really in a hurry to reach somewhere… but it’s up to them, as far as possible, mo sorti plis bonhr ki mo capave and anticipate such situation.
Enfin I guess it’s all a question of discipline and rules after all, which nowadays most of the people seem to forget…

I think that taking pics while driving is far more dangerous. But the fact that these guys do this is really some kind of threat.

Hi.
Who told you that I was talking pictures or that I was the one driving? None of these are written anywhere and anyway, FYI, I was not the one taking pictures.

The worst is at the traffic light near place d’armes, in the direction from north to south. Those guys taking the lane leading to the center of port-louis and joining again the motorway ahead. (From the central market near the motorway to the traffic light opposite waterfront).

What these drivers are doing may not be ethical but is totally legal. So remain calm, keep your Jedi ways. These guys will eventually damage their own vehicle… one day that will happen and that will be the worst punishment. There’s no point in trying to block them as you may get involved in a accident unnecessarily. Be civilized and show the example.
I can say I am light years from how I was as a driver a few years back. Now I am a defensive driver..

No. The worst punishment can only be death, not just twisted metal sheets.
