Road Referee: Show a card not, your middle finger
Listening to Cape Talk this afternoon I tuned in to a conversation about Road Referee. Intrigued by the name? So was I.
Essentially the concept came about during the 2014 Soccer World Cup. Bosun and SmartStone are sister companies that are manufacturers of concrete paving. Bosun’s colour is red and SmartStone’s is yellow. The idea was to express your disappointment towards rude and reckless road behaviour with a yellow or red card, exactly like a football referee. Showing a card instead of a finger.
There were many questions surrounding the legalities of leaving your steering wheel to put up a card etc, but what we want to know is whether or not you think something like this could curb road rage on our roads?
