At the speed you were going (<120km/h), pay the fine and move one... no criminal record.
Stop speeding, 80km/h means it wasn't a freeway and you were placing others in danger.

Unfortunately not. There are multiple 80kmph zones on the m1. Merely for making money

I stand corrected. Apologies.

We have a culture that you only pay if you received a summons if I remember correctly?
Its a good thing they have speed traps for those luxury cars doing 120 in an 80 zone. I mean thats certainly far more dangerous than the hundreds of taxis going through red traffic lights causing cars to swerve and pedestrians to jump out of the way...

Did this not change with the introduction of Aarto, all my latest fines are different how they would normally appear through the FNB portal, and on the Aarto website itself.
You no longer get a discount and have to pay the full amount of late.
Might be mistaken.

Actually it is a freeway. Stupid speed restrictions on a perfectly good freeway just to pump up the coffers.

I need advice on a drunk and driving case without a license.
I'm going to keep it short and sweet, but I got pulled over for driving under the influence and I was about 3 times over the limit, it's my first offense and I'm really worried about all the things im reading online. My other big problem is I don't have a license either. My court case is...

The M1 a perfectly good freeway? Must be using another M1 in Joburg than the one I have used.

I would actually appear at court. 99% of cases get thrown out or infinitely postponed, maybe yours will too.

Why wait for court. Go see the prosecutor before that.
Disagree entirely.. u go 80km till wits hill southward, futher north going north (melrose?) and then 100km/h .. only 120km when u go past/close to on ramp to N3/N1 (fourways).
Uhm.. I think for most people it takes self discipline to stick to slow speeds when everyone around u puts pedal down eg centurion cbd John Vorster Drive which is broad for 80km/h but actually 60km/h.

I still don't see why it would be an 80 there, the highway is practically fenced up from pedestrians and everyone is going above that speed around that area.
Was the only time I didn't have google maps open haha
I remember the change over from 120km/h to 100km/h at Sandton in Jan 2012.. people use to ride up my arse.
When I last went that way I saw they still do albeit the changes to speed on M1 Jhb done in 2012/3 and been pretty much same since.
If I recall correctly there was a spate of very bad accidents leading up to the changes.

For me it takes cruise control.

Understandable and noted, I knew it was an 80 zone, just always naturally driving on 120 km/h high ways so I guess I'm used to it.
Just have to discipline myself to stick to close or under the speed limit.
