This Is Dangerous! Disabled man hitches a high-speed free ride on lorry’s bumper

This is the incredible moment that a death-defying wheelchair user holds on to a lorry’s rear bumper as it travels down a busy South Africa motorway. The footage, filmed near Pretoria by another driver and posted on Facebook, shows the disabled man using his right arm to cling on to the corner of the lorry (circled). And even as it continues to speed along in the central lane at around 50mph, the risk-taking man seems happy to continue the free ride. His coolness during the dangerous journey led some Twitter users to claim that the man regularly clings on to lorries as a way of getting around. However, South Africa’s Road Traffic Management Corporation blasted the wheelchair user. They said: ‘In a country where we lose 14,000 people annually who die as a result of road crashes this is totally unacceptable. We condemn this dangerous behaviour’.
