The Gauteng E-tolling Thread

[Sinbad]

No

 

[OMB]

Can they arrest you without a warrant ?

I'd like to see them try

 

[Priapus]

Just thinking about it... For every person they wish to arrest they need to get a warrant and issue it. For millions or hundreds of thousands of people? I wonder if they have the man power and system to back this up.

 

[OMB]

Which is the whole point of passive resistance if everyone does it the system will fail

 

[ToxicBunny]

They dont

 

[Priapus]

I'd love to know how many people really are resisting though? Or are just not buying a tag and paying rather?

 

[Lord Farquart]

They dont

Yup. Long queues at the E-toll shop in Centurion yesterday.

Those of you who are refusing to pay at all - what is your plan when they come to arrest you?

I have a checkers packet full of 10c coins in bank bags... will pay them with that and only if they get heavy with me.
I opened a file at my attorney's office for this, just in case they do try and lock me up or get heavy with me.

I assume you're not going to pay and are going to use the highways (Or already are)

Don't read too much into it. According to Twitter, the systems were slow and lots of people were there to dispute the 'charges' Not all of them were there to buy etags.

Well, Vusi Mona recons you only need to pay for e-roads if you don't use them. I am exempt.

He said Sanral would, however, like to emphasise that paying for the e-roads is not an option for those who use them.

Ok, so I am completely clueless about the whole e-Toll thing (my passive resistance has been to simply ignore the issue), but I drove on the highways a few times over December and haven't received any kind of bill or statement from SANRAL. I'm ok with paying (the manual way) but I am concerned that I have not received anything and if this carries on I may be surprised with a massive bill at some point in the future.

How do I check if I have outstanding toll fees?

Only at an etoll booth

Only at an etoll booth

For real? I have to physically go to a booth to find this out? Where are these booths?

 

[phoneJunky]

Or toll free call center

If you accept their Ts and Cs can you pay online? Or are all payments at the shop?
