Another thing to do is to actually block your numberplate with something. Just slightly, enough so that a photo would not be conclusive proof of it being your vehicle. But not enough that it would be blatantly obvious except from a 45 degree elevation.

If you are pulled over by Metro for this, they can only fine you for R500, instead of R1000 by Sanral for not paying a bill. Considering how often you get pulled over for minor issues like this by the metro, you will hardly get any fines. Then considering how often Metro traffic fines actually get followed through to collection, especially with the Metro doing a go slow at the moment and for the foreseeable future.

This could be one way of loopholing past the cameras, while also loopholing the inefficiency of the Traffic department.

Every time Sanral comes after you, you ask for photo evidence. They provide an obscured numberplate, you tell them it is not your car.

Or we stick to the above requirement and have the font ever so slightly different. I highly doubt metro will pick it up.

Indeed... change characters such as 0 with O for example. There's many ways to skin this cat.

My thoughts exactly. It will look legit. Metro are not that observant. You could go undetected for a very long time and if it ever came up - "Oopps, didn't notice - they must have made an error when printing the plates!!"
 
just saw this on FB

If you get pulled over illegally by SANRAL intimidating you to register CALL IMMEDIATELY on 087 809 0399. E-toll Please Share!

give this man a whole friggen years supply of Bells, we need more people like this

One major retailer in Edenvale has refused to stock e-tags.

The owner of the store, who asked not to be named, said despite pressure from national head office he stands by his decision to not stock e-tags.

“It is extortion. The government has no right to use fear to force the people to support e-tolls,” he said.

According to the store owner, one of his employees who live on the west rand had to purchase their e-tags from another outlet.

National chain stores which stock e-tags are Shoprite/Checkers, CNA, Pick n Pay and Spar.

“E-tolls are not part of a democratic government. Only those who are forced to buy tags for financial reasons have done so,” he said.

The store owner added that he had not received many queries from customers about e-tags either.

“This is not what the people want. I will stand by my decision to not stock e-tags. Yes we are a major retail chain store, but we are privately owned, so the decision to stock e-tags lies with us,” he said.

It did and is doing that periodically for a long time now, SANRAL however claims nothing is wrong, things are going smoooooth.

Sometimes that captcha thing is also stuffing around, other times the page repeatedly timed out, errors were also given, eval php something.

When I did the initial payment, my cc was chared 5c, but the minimum with Absa is R1, only 5c reflected on my E-toll account, the screwed me out of 95c.

The payments initially took ages to update because their servers were under stress, but they claimed it was the user's browser settings.

They are really in the dark wrt a lot of things, or they are liars.

Their automated telephone system seems good though.
 
Why is it that your first R50 payment ( no tag ) can only be done with a credit card?

Why can't I pay without registering. That can not be within the CPA?
At one point they claimed that kon registered users have a grace period and if you pay with in a certain time you fall within the reduced prices? But then they force you to register to pay.


This is such a load of BS.

Mr Mila can't have a criminal record. An he can't avoid the gates.
He is still holding out though.
