Huge fines for motorists who don't pay e-tolls

[wingnut771]

I see they're back to their scare tactics strategy.

 

[wingnut771]

Considering the cost of car license renewals, it may work out cheaper to not renew and chances are that you will get away with it for a very long time as traffic law enforcement is non existent and open to bribery for those willing to partake in corrupt practices.
The muppet's in power are so farking dumb that I can just shake my head in utter dismay at their dumbass ideas.

I see peoples photoshop skills improving.

Local elections next year and this will be another political hot potato.

Have we NOT learnt that voting does not help in this GOD FORSAKEN COUNTRY?
NOT PAYING OUR TAXES IS THE ONLY WAY THEY WILL LEARN
They are bankrupt.
Does not have money to yet again bail out saa and Eksdom.
Hit them hard.
Hit them where it hurts the most IN THEIR POCKETS

 

[murray654]

They want the courts to be too busy prosecuting citizens so the politicians are free to loot without consequence.

 

[Enzo Matrix]

Still wont pay

“From the enormous increases in the fines and the administrative fees payable, to numerous new obstacles which are to be put in the way of a motorist who wishes to prove his or her innocence; these draft regulations make it clear that money and not justice or road safety is the primary focus of the AARTO Act,” Dembovsky said.

Exactly that, fines should only be used to make the roads safer for everyone to use, instead these draft regulations are aimed at shoving SANRAL's etollie up everyone's arse.

This video sums up the current state of affairs:

....and if you don't pay, the stalinist anc will pack you off to a Gulag re-education camp to toil on a communist central controlled farm!

Seems like the trend is to criminalize everything (like SARS' idea to criminalize mistakes on your tax return and now this) to make that stick all the bigger. Very much a case of trying to squeeze the last bit out before everything implodes.

If you a crimbo you think everyone else is the same..

What they gonna do if we still just don't pay?

They cannot even close the circle on one dumbo that stole our money in full public view, or efficiently process renewals, how are they going to process millions of Gauteng's motorists? The ANC must be tired and longing for a regime change.

The Positive:
Basicness and symplicity is sustainable and provide very little hiding for fraud and corruption, thats the only way forward for this chaotic world to go, which became and edcated toxin to itself.

The Negative & EVil:
-Untill ordinary people understand that we are now unlike in the recent past(with it's own known problems), faced with a new parasitic form of abstract digitally named embeddedments, which naturally expionentially increase in it's parasitic values once embedded and established into systems.
-Daily planning starts to get involved around these factors slipped in under the radar of ordinary people faster of course than ever before, so before you get 30/40 and starts understanding where you heading, its too late too fast for most.
-Unlike in the past of slow cycles, fast monetary cycles are produced, monetary systems bind and clog up in the process and it spyrals out of control, and that is how a parasite kills it's host gradually, political ideologies became irrelavant, they all love money one or other waY todaY.
-Now why is this not understood properly...Well simply because mankind never ever in it's history had to deal with this, examine this etc which includes two new abstract factors added=1-Digital Abstract Era, & 2-7 Billion plus and growing populations all this mixed in a one world ideology evolving, that tries to ignore Nature & Resources from it.
-The universe is a closed system whatever you do or administer or set in motion, will have consequences, greeen or not green, clean or not clean, the catch in all of this is TIME. Time will show, Short Term is easy, Medium Tern is less easy, Longer Term requires serious Intelligence, Social-Intelligence , Foresight and Common sense.
If one look at the last 35 year evolvent towards too just a reasonable happy ending for most, it starts to look that we as humans have met our master in this Universe in the form of the LACK of the required levels of Social-Intelligence to control 7 Billion people successfully through slipped in centralised methods.
-Each individual reaching the age of even 90 years, may not have lived long enough to understand this in enough numbers to be effective. If we could get 500 years old(pregnancies last 3-5 years) and each leader has to sit through his own creations for at least 400 years in a living cycle meshing with other cycles, we would have had the perfect world by now with the experienced gained as a result. Todays world trash experience fast.

We already went through this crap with speeding fines. You can't withhold vehicle licences just cause you feel like punishing the oh so naughty subjects.

 

[Juice]

What they gonna do if we still just don't pay?

Public floggings. Or the nearest facsimile. I suspect the intention of these legislative changes is to make it legally viable to prosecute and punish just a couple of people in the hope that it would scare the rest of us into compliance. I would also really like to hear what OUTA has to say, since I've been a subscriber to their 'defense umbrella' for years now. If these laws make it onto the books, they'll probably have to take it all the way to the constitutional court to get it undone.

I'm still baffled why SANRAL didn't follow the Tshwane model...north of Lynnwood Road off-ramp, you can't get on or off the freeway unless you go through a gantry on the ramp. Same applies to the N3 to Durban and the N1 south of Joburg. N14 to Mpumalanga has the same system.

Because the traffic on the N1 flows too freely? We need to slow things down?

 

[Foxhound5366]

*shrugs* This has been coming ever since the system launched. Who's surprised? Did you really expect the ANC to just say "Whoops, gonna take down the system, sorry to y'all who actually paid but we're now writing off all that debt."? The only surprising thing is that it has taken this long. Let's hope they finally shut the loopholes and then we can move on with our lives. There are more important things to worry about in South Africa than South Africans who don't feel the need to pay for tolls on clearly signposted highways.

 

[ProfA]

where are the suckers who donate to OUTA?

 

[boboudts]

This is the 'looking for loose change under the couch cushion' stage of economic desperation.

No such luck, had to sell ours to pay SARS!

 

[Swa]

So they haven't come up with the promised "solution" now they just sneak in an old outdated provision. Besides haven't we already covered this? They can't block transactions but only withhold disks. Here's to force people into non compliance and getting more fines, which will also not be paid.

That also sounds like a joke to me. With the money people have donated OUTA should be proactive and taking these matters to court and not waiting for them to land up there.
