South Africans who have not paid their toll fees, will not be able to renew their car licence discs, the South African National Roads Agency Limited (Sanral) said on Tuesday.

Gauteng government launched their e-tag registration process for government vehicles.

Sanral chief Nazir Alli said motorists would not be fined or get de-merit points for not paying toll fees.

However, Alli said licence discs would not be renewed if toll fees and related administration costs were not paid.

He said systems would also be put in place, to insure motorists did not attempt to cheat the toll system with fake number plates.

There is no cut-off date for e-tag registrations, but Alli has encouraged people to register and benefit from discounts.

Over 300,000 people have registered for e-tags so far.

There are going to be a lot of unlicenced vehicles.....

Only 100,000 more tags sold in the last 6 weeks ?
 
Register your car in the Eastern Cape, it's cheaper anyway.
 
Didn't they say that about speeding fines as well?

Hasn't stopped me from renewing my vehicle License so far! :p
 
Making threats like this smells a bit like desperation? I am still curious as to what Cosatu have lined up still....and the DA taking it to the Consti Court too I think
 
How do we get Thuli Madonsela to investigate these criminals?
 
These imbeciles are obsessed with fines and tolls and completely ignore everything else. Unroadworthy vehicles, crime, etc gets ignored. Why? There isn't enough money in that. :mad:

Same here :D, I probably owe more than R3 k in fines but renewed my vehicle license last December. SANRAL and government are using scare tactics and many will fall for it. We all know that we will get away with not paying for e-tolls, through bribes ;).
 
What if I visit Joburg and my toll fees for the trip make something like R5 or less? Will they go to the trouble of sending me a bill?

Well they should be doing such. Your bill (according to SANRAL) will arrive in the same fashion that a speeding fine does.
This will be the case for everyone that doesn't have an e-tag.
 
Whattaloada!! :mad:

I wonder what happens when you first register a new car?

BTW, my address is available in KZN for a small fee!! :D :p
 
I have Freestate plates on my car... Kinda curious as to what they have planned for that.
