Why has this not been the standard up until now?

 

[LazyLion]

Right..... along with all the other drivers breaking the law. Right?
Cos we have seen a lot of that happening, haven't we?

 

[Hemi300c]

I agree totally but this is another E-Toll tactic.

 

[ToxicBunny]

Does the law allow them to impound the vehicles or is Dipuo being retarded again?

 

[itareanlnotani]

Is this going to apply to Taxi's then?

Or are those exempt again, as its too much hassle?

It's not roadworthy without a numberplate and can therefore be impounded.

The reason you need the temp paper with licence number displayed in back window

Really?

I know the identification numbers (chassis/engine) need to match the registration certificate....

Exactly.

Lol at singleing out "celebrities". In pretty sure that most people see the current government and decide to do what they want.

 

[Hemi300c]

And vehicles with duplicate numbers like a cadre or two?

 

[bumblebee]

Just start doing it already. Some of the biggest tools on the road during my commute are driving around without plates.

 

[blowdart18]

And all the false plates, duplicate registrations, false/fraud registrations floating around the country ??

Impounding vehicles require administration and infrastructure. Two things sorely lacking.

If it happened then you'll be in a pile of shyte when you try recover your vehicle and it's either stolen, damaged or just a chassis.

I remember when my car was new and drove down to Durban before number plates could be fitted - - - Mmmmm, it was my shorted trip from Pretoria to Durban ever. You just don't care much without any number plates on... So yes, number plates for all! You are getting a number plate... everyone is getting a number plate!!

 

[Pitbull]

Rule of thumb...

Rather drive without plates as opposed to fake plates.

Driving without plates is an offence with a fine attached. Driving with fake plates is fraud which means a whole load of shyte.

You are suggesting the state is not liable for the vehicle while impounded?

Try get indemnification from them. Not easy and will drag on for years whilst you without a vehicle.
