New Driver Faces Traffic Trauma on Freeway
Speaking of driving challenges, Briefly News also reported on another Mzansi driver who faced a tough moment behind the wheel. Yanga Mnisi, a new driver, found herself overwhelmed by the traffic on the freeway and decided to pull over to collect herself. It’s not easy being a rookie on busy roads, especially when you’re still learning the ropes.
Thankfully, social media users were nothing but supportive, reminding Yanga (and anyone else in her shoes) that it’s completely normal to feel intimidated at first. They reassured her that with practice, confidence would grow, and soon enough, she’d be cruising like a pro. Driving might seem scary now, but trust me, one day the road won’t feel so daunting.
