As you will all know, The Bomber is one of Cape Towns most feared vehicles.

So it was with a slight chuckle that it’s pilot, Jerry D, let me know about 30 minutes ago that he had received another speeding fine. Not that we would say you must speed, it’s dangerous and all…but with The Bomber you hardly notice you are speeding. It feels like you are doing 40km/hr and you are actually doing 300km/hr.

Anyway, the photo above is what most people fear. You will regularly see The Bomber coming down a road and suddenly all other cars in that road will park, or take a turn off into a side road. This is also the photo that all speeding cameras and traffic cops fear the most…

You will no doubt come to see this sight in Cape Town. You can stare, it’s cool. Just give it some space and a bit of respect and you should get by just fine.

The Bomber commands respect in this city, and that’s what I always give it

Respect!
