    Gauteng plans to install average speed over distance cameras on e-toll gantries

    Has anybody ever received a fine from an average speed camera? A while back I asked a bunch of people at work that travel the N3 regularly and nobody has received or know of a person that was fined in this way.

    Good points. Plus, even if they do hoist somebody that high and chuck them as normal procedure, the cord would take out some of the chuckers. I call AI bullshit.

    Which is the most hair-raising South African mountain pass you've driven?

    Without a doubt Rebellie pass between Old Mill and the Fouriesburg- Clarens R711 route. But it is a 4x4 route so probably doesn't count in the context of the question. Beautiful views on Lesotho and technically very difficult. For normal diving, I guess Swartberg stands out.

    Airmobile - MTN popups

    Just checked, and I also have 2 Sim toolkits installed on my phone, both with notifications enabled. Have now disabled as much as possible on both and will also report back. Only difference in my case from the above is that my Airmobile Sim is physical, not eSim. My FNB is an eSim, which may...

    What's the most interesting small town you've visited in South Africa?

    I actually enjoyed driving Swartberg pass and I have a severe fear of heights. My biggest worry was how I would handle oncoming traffic at some spots, but I was lucky in that regard. Anyway. Driving from Oudshoorn to Prince Albert, just after the top of the pass the road makes a long, right-hand...

    What's the most interesting small town you've visited in South Africa?

    Some of you guys have strange definitions of "small town", but I guess if you only live from metro to metro your towns are big but your world is small. I try to do a big road trip (5k plus kms) at least once a year. Some of the ones that I liked most, in no particular order: Loxton Suiderstrand...

    Analysing DStv bill-splitting prices with Netflix

    Eish, that is a lot of mathematical gymnastics to justify backing a dead horse. On an unrelated note, glad to see Multichoice renewed their premium MyBB subs.

    Hello Gauteng – major semigration shift hits South Africa

    I have a theory, hear me out. They are leaving Western Cape but also leaving Gauteng, right? Bloemfontein!!!

    What it costs the average South African household to install a fully off-grid home power system

    Not a cheap date, this one, considering a goodbye kiss will normally cost you dinner and a movie.

    Nirvana is not music, change my mind....

    Another good example. He's quite a strapping young lad but not much of a musician. // runs for cover

    Sad news ... celebrity deaths.

    That's not a celebrity because I've, personally, never heard of him or watched those movies, incoming in 5... 4... 3...
