A new robbing tactic is fast spreading and I was nearly a victim! Be alert on the highways!
I was on my way home at approx. 19h00 one evening from Lenmed Hospital, when a condom filled with a water resistant gel hit my windscreen. It exploded on impact and the gel spread across the windscreen. I was curious at the time as to what the jelly was (suspecting it may have been a bird or the like) and thus drove to the next garage and had it cleaned. Only then did it dawn on me what the intention was. Thank goodness I did not wipe the windscreen.

Instinctively a driver would switch the wipers on and try wash the stuff off. Instead the goo is spread over the windscreen and blocks all vision, forcing you to stop. The windscreen water does not dissolve the stuff.
THIS IS WHEN THEY ATTACK YOU!!!
- Under no circumstances use the windscreen wipers.
- Under no circumstances do you stop, even when the view is limited.
Thank you for the tip xram @ netactive
If you know of any alerts the South African public should be made aware of please let me know and I will post to the website.
