Humiliation
I have never gotten stuck on this road (only 7km of it anyway) - but once I was in the township town of Botshabelo (went shopping at the warehouses) and took the back dirt road out as people told me to do because it is safer - I asked if the road was dry enough and was told it was. When I reached the place where the dirt road goes up to join the highway, it was flooded - and even on grass I got bogged. The highway patrol police car stopped to help me (Thaba Nchu policemen) - and they couldn't help me - then the second patrol car stopped - then the third.... Eventually they called highway rescue and I was completely embarrassed by it (in my 1979 VW Golf)!
