You can look at the historical average for this period on Google maps (bottom left) - looks much the same for 3pm Tuesdays. Wait for rush hour, that will be more informative.

Comrade Jacob could not give a ................
This is some good news:
Meaning those will be charged as they have not applied for exemption yet. I hope those permits take another 2 years to finalize. We might have 80% of the taxi's joining in the fight pretty soon.

Anyone want to bet that the taxi's will raise their fairs to "make up for etolls", but never drop those fairs again if they get their exemption? :wtf:
Maybe but that then opens a whole new can of worms for SANRAL in regards to their legal actions.
If a taxi does not have a permit it means that its not a taxi. Without a permit it cannot apply for exemption. Without exemption SANRAL will charge it like any other vehicle.
If they do not, based on the fact that its a minibus, then they are discriminating against non minibus drivers. They cannot then turn around and say 'but its a taxi' as according to law it ain't a taxi as it has no valid permit and as such should be charged accordingly just like any other road user.
If not then I can also just apply for a taxi permit and let it hang in the process for the next two years and then demand not to pay e-toll. Where in the law does it state that my taxi needs to be a mini-bus?

I spoke to a petrol attendant this morning. He said that only 2 of about 40 "clients" (motorists) he served were tagged. This was at the BP near Beyers Naude.
I wonder how observant he really was... if true - thats a good sign.

Tried to drive on Grayston Drive shortly after two, big mistake! People avoiding toll roads I think? Never seen like that (and no, its not just the two sets of traffic lights that are out).

Well, he actually initiated the topic. He looked into my car and noted that I "also" did not have an e-tag. Only then did I ask how many have he seen and how many motorists he served.
I can only hope. That way the poor will be affected directly and they will understand the repercussions come voting time.

I will buy myself a bakkie and be very forgetful and leave the tail-gate open - problem solved (to all the bakkie dealerships - this is a freebie from me for your advertising campaign)

What about the front ?
Why only 'might', and why the hell wait until 2015 you idiots. By then the ANC will be in power for another 4 years and e-toll will be here to stay.

i see that the ANC is now called the African Nkandla Congress
and comments like this from the ANC facebook page make me happy that people are recognising them for the crooks that they are
