Good, maybe soon we can drop two of the stupid taxes - EV tax and luxury tax.

It's inevitable that we'll get electric eventually if everyone else is - I'd just prefer to still drive one before I'm 90.
Fuel injection took about 10 years longer to become mainstream here, but I suspect a lot this time around has to do with Government-imposed electric taxes.

Indeed. And removing lead from petrol. Sheesh much too late in 2006. I wonder how many people in SA already have a lead-induced reduced life span and permanent cognitive disabilities.

Judging by the quality of driving these days, I'd guess 90%?

I still don't understand why the need to be tested. Just make them available for purchase without the stupid import duties.
