$[11/07,10$:$55]$ L: Piet, a truck driver, is transporting an abnormally heavy load on a busy city motorway. He hears a strange noise coming

from the engine and immediately radios the vehicle control centre at the central depot to report the incident. This kind of

call is all in a day$$s work for Simpiwe, the radio controller, who advises Piet to continue onto his final destination, only $20$

km away. Simpiwe thinks the problem can be dealt with quickly and easily when the truck returns to the depot. As a

result, he does not alert the mechanics of the pending situation. There is a compounding problem though. Piet failed to

mention to Simpiwe that the red indicator had suddenly flashed on the dashboard. So$,$ after a few splutters, the truck

grinds to a halt on the motorway at a tricky intersection, and because the articulated truck is so large, it blocks all four

access routes. It does not take long for the traffic to back up in all directions, frustrating commuters eager to get home.

Simpiwe errs by not giving Piet appropriate advice, but Piet is equally wrong for not having mentioned the important detail

of the indicator light. It is easy for this kind of miscommunication to happen. Had Piet told Simpiwe the whole story, the

situation may not have escalated into a full $$ scale catastrophe that affected far more people than was necessary

Critique this statement in the light of the assumptions made by Simphiwe.
