E-toll “on-road enforcement” – what you need to know

So what about all the wrong/fake plates etc ? How is that going to impact all of it...?
 
There is no on road enforcement, the reporter alluded to the fact that the " Traffic police would attempt to update their details, while checking for duplicated licence plate numbers or motorists driving without licence plates or disks." So the authorities are going to share this information with Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) to assist collections.
 
This is the same guy that I previously wished I could punch in the "Surkont"

Surely because there is no way GP cars where going to magically disappear & reduce "highway congestion" due to fancy cameras and purple lights

they could "disappear" onto old jhb and other alternate routes... causing chaos and damaging residential roads instead...

Or i guess, they go to the Gautrain stations - and then you pay a nice tidy sum to get jammed into a train like a sardine.... Not to mention the lack of parking at centurion station (and others i'm sure).

I'm not sure which I hate more, the e-tolls or self-centred drivers (including our good friends the taxi drivers) who use any lane (including oncoming) to do whatever they want, coz they're more important than anyone else on the road.

I also find it kinda hilarious that we've got a whole bunch of cops now doing traffic at intersections with working traffic lights... its like we had to pay to 1) get them installed, 2) to fix them everytime it rains, 3) to get people to take over when they're not set up right...
 
sounds to me like this could end up being a(nother) case of "attempts to collect the debt costing more than the debt itself"?
nothing better to do, to actually improve the country?
 
I'm glad ETC formally admitted that Natis is not yet ready - that's what people tried to tell them before this went live. That sounds like professional negligence to me - unleashing something on the public knowing full well it is going to fail
 
Is the dude's surname meant to be a joke in the article?

Surkont.

I LOL'ed uncontrollably. Sometimes I'm also a Surkont, but it's because I must pay so much tax. :(
 
his grandpa lived through the depression, and he didn't like it, hence the name stuck
