You mean like when a traffic office pulls you over claiming you didn't stop at the stop sign when you actually did?

Should have let the guy write out his ticket then nail him later with the evidence.

Who has time for that though...

So, he gets to continue preying on the rest :(

If South Africa's new traffic laws are implemented next year, the injustices they will cause will be too frightening to imagine.

Precausery measures under known abnormal circuimstances:
If a country can be freezed in operation by a pandemic, like SARS-COV-2 with two narratives=Corona Virus & COVID-19,....
...Why Not....
If it is known to be corrupt, and on top of that those corrupt cases are expanding, huge and ongoing, my question is why cant new law writings be freezed as well, unless it has to do with clamping down on that type of a corruption,...as a precausery measure, so that if a new government comes in operation, they not have the task of tearing down multiple law systems, red tape etc, does the constitution protect the citizens under such circuimstances-?

That R100? It's little more than a way to recover lost revenue (those who don't) from those who do pay.
If I recall, in Gauteng alone, above 80% of offenders don't pay.

how about they enforce the current traffic laws first, then create new ones? every day i in fourways i'm either avoiding people driving over red lights, or watching people ignore red lights. once had a taxi do a u-turn at a red robot while i was turning into the same road and i was hooting at him. the metro cop looked at him, then just pointed like "hey! i saw you! you better behave". that's it.

if anything, metro police will just use whatever new authoritarian rules to pull in more bribes.

They're not interested in enforcing anything, they're interested in money. The only way to do that is to chase the soft targets who pay. Make them pay more.

these draft regulations make it clear that money and not justice or road safety is the primary focus of the AARTO Act

No matter how many times I say this there's always some twat somewhere saying. "Just don't get fined."

New traffic rules say you must now pay an extra R100 when fined

New information around South Africa’s Aarto regulations contain a new “infringement penalty levy” of R100, which has been described as a “stealth tax”.
mybroadband.co.za mybroadband.co.za

This means that even motorists who have been fined wrongfully will have to pay the new R100 infringement penalty levy.

Use your head. It structurally puts a huge object between you and your right to fair legal treatment. Now ponder that and use your head a bit more.

Unfortunately not true, we got pull over because a cop did not see me stop at an intersection only when I stopped in the middle of an intersection because of a high speed car that did not look like he was going to stop. He pulled me over for rolling into the intersection and then stopping and gave me a fine. No matter how much I told him that I did stop he did not want to hear it.
Jokes on him through, I got him so pissed off that he inflated the fine to outside the limit of what is allowed that the fine got thrown out :ROFL::ROFL::ROFL:

A surcharge? So I have to pay a penalty to receive my fine? If I don't pay the surcharge I don't get the fine? Just asking...:rolleyes:
