A truck driver has been arrested for reckless driving near Charlestown, Mpumalanga, on Saturday morning after video footage appeared on social media.

The stretch of road on the Majuba Pass between Newcastle and Charlestown is a problem for law officials. When a vehicle of this size and weight overtakes smaller cars, it could look as though it's driving faster than what it actually is, but it's still incredibly dangerous. The driver overtakes several other trucks without indicating and overtakes on solid lines on blind rise bends, which could have caused terrible crashes with oncoming vehicles. According to our three-way camera system data in our trucks, the driver was going between 60 and 85km/h at most between the stretch of road as recorded by the motorist. However, a full investigation is still in progress, and once we receive a summons from the court, he could possibly be charged with several violations. A motorist had recorded the Ni-Da Group Transport truck passing several vehicles, mainly other large trucks, after being rattled by the driver's brazen recklessness.
