“According to the whistleblower, the road signs on the Northern Express Tangent are incorrectly placed and there are no signs to signal that it is going from three lanes to one. Something I fully agree with.
He also adds that in the specific situation the truck driver fell asleep while driving on autopilot at 90 km/h and did not react at all.
He also asks “Where are the traffic police and the police in this situation that this person has been driving for over 10 hours without stopping”?
