TygerBurger<\/em> engaged with is of the opinion that these bikes are increasingly becoming a danger on local roads. <\/p>\n\n\n\nImpatient<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Martin Booker says the industry is being propelled by the convenience it offers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPeople have become too comfortable at home. Yes, these drivers are irresponsible, but if its cold or rainy we phone in an order and expect speedy delivery, even getting impatient if they are five minutes late. The stores who use them greatly contribute to the problem.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yolanda van der Westhuizen adds to Booker\u2019s comment saying they are being misused by the grocery chains as competition among food retailers is rife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThey are forced to drive fast in order to get more trips and more tips. I think they should rather be encouraged by their employers to drive safely and be rewarded for this,\u201d she says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hettie Swanepoel agrees saying they \u201cdrive like the devil is chasing them\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In his opinion, Anton van Zyl says they are \u201ctaxis on two wheels\u201d, while Alvo Kotze doubts that drivers and vehicle licenses are checked by the authorities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many other residents TygerBurger<\/em> spoke to say delivery bikes are often seen driving on pavements to avoid traffic lights, don\u2019t stop at stop signs and weave dangerously through the traffic. <\/p>\n\n\n\nAccidents<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Carla Lourens-Ferreira from CMAX Security services says they often respond to accidents involving motorcycle delivery guys knocked off their bikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn most cases we note that their motorbikes\u2019 brakes or indictors are not in working order and the bike in a bad condition. I understand that they work to put food on the table but I feel the shops they work for have to inspect the condition of the bikes regularly and put industry standards into place to increase road safety for drivers and other motorists,\u201d she told TygerBurger.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nAnnemare Buitendag says her daughter\u2019s car was a write-off after a collision with a delivery bike. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHe sped right in front of her on the left while she was busy turning left.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Johan Wepener says he sees accidents involving delivery bikes almost on a daily basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt is ridiculous. My daughter\u2019s car was damaged by this wild west driving.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Elize Beukes Mills says a driver drove into the back of her son\u2019s car while he was looking on his cellphone. \u201cThe driver had no insurance, we had to claim from our insurance.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A member of the City\u2019s safety and security portfolio committee Rhynard Bresler says the matter needs to be looked at more closely as more accidents occur. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAccording to information I received, I doubt that all delivery drivers have actual motorbike driving licenses as it is permitted to ride a bike over 125cc with a Code 1 learners license. In a recent incident on Saxdown Road, a delivery bike tried to overtake and raced into the curbside. The bike skidded across the road after which the driver got up and ran away.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Industry responds<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
In response to a media inquiry a spokesperson for the Shoprite Group said the company has a unique partnership with its delivery drivers that are empowered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCheckers Sixty60 orders are serviced from stores closest to customers, while the delivery service has been outsourced to Pingo, the Group\u2019s 50\/50 joint venture with RTT On-Demand that currently contracts to about 4 000 drivers,\u201d says a media spokesperson for the group.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n According to the group contracted drivers possess valid driver\u2019s licenses, undergo comprehensive practical driving skills assessments through accredited driver assessors and have access to third party and personal protection insurance. <\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cDrivers receive extensive training covering a wide spectrum of aspects including advanced driving skills, defensive driving techniques, safety protocols and accident procedures, and anti-hijacking driving techniques. Support to drivers includes in-field operations teams, regional workshop facilities and a central support team. Applications for owner operators are open to all. Appointments are made from suitably qualified applicants in possession of the necessary licenses and are based on merit. <\/em><\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201c[However), we are concerned about the complaints highlighted and our Sixty60 team will be reiterating the importance of driving disciplines with the respective driving teams again to improve any shortcomings.\u201d<\/em><\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cThe importance of safe driving disciplines is continuously reiterated with the various driving teams to improve any shortcomings that drivers may have and members of the public who wish to compliment good or report bad driving behaviour can do so via 0800 006 060,\u201d the group stated.<\/em><\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nDrivers talk frankly<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Several delivery drivers TygerBurger <\/em>spoke to, on condition that their identities be protected, say its a tough job, but they \u201cdon\u2019t have a choice\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cWe work the operation hours of the particular shop we deliver for. I work a 12-hour shift from 08:00 to 20:00, five days a week. The more deliveries I get, the more I pay,\u201d he says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This driver is paid R35 per trip, with tips being very scarce. On a busy day he does about 15 trips, and on quieter days about nine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe face many dangers on the road like taxi drivers and also fear hijacking and robberies; its tough sometimes, but its our living and we are happy to have this job.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He, like other drivers rents-to-buy his bike from his employer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another driver says he is aware off the accidents involving delivery bikes, and acknowledges that drivers are sometimes guilty of speeding and bad driving. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBut we try to do better. I myself, I don\u2019t drive 100%, I know it but the bottom line is, I have to deliver fast.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
