The two girls were unbothered by the driver’s message, and one of them offered to take over.

Girls make a plan

The two girls took the Afrikaans saying, “‘n Boer maak ‘n plan”, way too seriously when one of them tossed the driver to the backseat while she took over the steering wheel. The ambitious woman is seen working the big machine, determined to get her and her friend to work.

It is pretty impressive to see how unbothered they were and took matters into their own hands even after paying the full price from home to work.

The video posted by one of the girls, Tshego, @Tshegotee074 on TikTok, is captioned:

“POV: When the driver complains about how far my friend and I work and that he is tired of driving, I said say less.”

Oh driver please

The girls respected the driver’s message when he whined:

“I’m tired.”

As the driver complained about his exhaustion, the idea to take themselves to work had been cooked and ready to eat in the girls’ mind as they quickly transitioned from commuters to taxi operators.

Social was in awe of how politely the problem was resolved and commended the new driver for making a plan other than putting up a fight.

Tshego’s comments section is a mixture of praises and comic relief messages:

@Sharon Mashilo is proud of how the ladies handled the situation:

“The importance of drivers and knowing how to drive.”

@tsheposebola8 is proud of the woman’s skills of knowing how to drive:

“Oh wow guys! You took matters into your hands.”

@Blaqgirlspride can’t get over how the girls did what they had to do to get to where they needed to be:

“Look, she’s definitely a ‘I got is’.”

@Asanda_Life Coach is glad that the taxi is in good condition and that it is safe enough to be taken on a spin by the girls:

“At least the taxi had a visible gear and controls.”
