You got faked by both the magistrate and the Metro cop.
You have 28 days to renew an expired disc after it expired![]()
I think the FBI should be contacted...
For the sake of full disclosure - I am Austrian and you might not know that by affiliation of my citizenship, I am partially responsible for
- Kapsch erecting those cool disco-lights on your much discussed highways
- Rieder/Valenta designing/installing those cool african-looking facade panels of the Soccer City Stadium
- bringing KTM motorbikes and G-Wagen to this country
- and don't forget the awesome Glock guns (which can not be properly handled by one of your famous bullet-runners)
- Adolf Hitler
Oh... almost forgot Redbull, Jagermeister and Stroh Rum....
The right way to do it is to wait for the bribe request then say thanks now that you incriminated yourself write the fine so I have all your details.
Then leave with your warning.
Yep, I find they are very sympathetic or forgiving if you just say "I know I was at fault, I was in a hurry to get home, and I promise I won't do it again."
99% of the time they just let you go.
FTFY![]()
He was a sh*t artist/painter. Don't make this an Austrian problem![]()
Worse, he was a ****in vegetarian

I knew about the Kapsch thing, but dammit, them other things...especially those orange horrors
If the FBI can go after FIFA i recckon you're fair game especially for the Stroh Rum <---evil in a bottle!
PS: the Glock nearly got you off, but the Rum puts you over the edge

I got fined recently R1500 for driving with an expired licence disk (it was 2 weeks expired, first time ever), and this was in Mpumalanga. As soon as she hinted at a bribe, I told her "Sorry, I actually have a conscience and integrity". I then and there drove 30km to the magistrate in the area, and got it squashed to R500, paid it, and felt pretty relieved for not falling into the trap. Plus, I don't think I will ever forget to renew the licence disk.
Th only way to break this plague, is to simply start paying. But yeah, its tempting to part with R200 rather than R1500..
