e-tag beep

I fitted an e-tag to my car, but it isn't beeping when I drive through gantries. Is there something wrong with the e-tag or is it that the gantries aren't operational yet?
That's because tolling will only start on 30 April 2012. I can hardly wait (for the drama, that is):)
 
Why the F did you buy an e-tag!!! You are the reason the Government just do what they want, cause spineless people like you just give in and buy their crap.. Shame on you

Well done sir! You are now officially another little government slave/puppet. Hope you feel good about yourself.

You probably have inadvertently disabled the automatic beep function while installing it. Have you tried manually emitting a beep when driving under a gantry? Don't worry if someone sees or hears you, they probably know you're an idiot already .. so next time you go under one just take a deep breath, put your lips together and make a loud .. 'BEEP' sound.

Good, see your e-tag is in fact working correctly and your toll fees have now been paid.

@OP - I do hope you are aware that SANRAL is now allowed to deduct money from your bank account any time they want.

And that there will be admin fees charged which they told you nothing about?

Enjoy it.

Currently it will not Beep - the Gantries are off, however if you travel to Rustenburg, for example, they have existing EToll booths where you will hear two beeps since your account is not active yet.
 
Actually, I seen a ad in the paper this morning that says the e-tag will start beeping, they are testing the devices but don't worry, money is not being deducted yet.

I lol'd for all the fools that have this POS installed!
 
It will beep once if ure an idiot, twice if ure an idiot. Oh wait YOU ARE AN IDIOT!!!!

Ek weet nie waaroor kla jy nie, jou werk gaan seker jou etag betaal! :mad:

Edit: This thread made me think about this song...

I phoned SANRAL and they said that the gantries are still offline so the e-tag isn't supposed to beep yet.
 
For what is usually a pretty helpful and mild-mannered forum, a lot of guys seem to be experiencing their "time of the month" on this thread at the moment...
