What happens if you don’t pay for e-tolls?

An idea, why dont Sanral just convert the gantry to speed camera's rather than e-toll, and fine you if you exceed the speed limit on the highway over the distance you've travelled between gantry's vs the time it should take at the speedlimit. A simple calculation.
 
There are so many laws that mean nothing.

Public urination, Driving while talking on your cellphone, Towing cars on the highway with a sling, littering etc etc

This is just another burden on a judiciary system that has no teeth. Good luck

As far as I know a camera has to photograph you in the act of speeding for it to be considered a lawful fine.
 
E-tolls are law: Alli

Alli is confident that most motorists will pay for e-tolls as laid down by the law.

“We are all South Africans and generally law abiding citizens who obey the law,” said Alli, adding that people should not become selective on which laws must be obeyed and respected and which ones not.

“This is a law in the country and has always been since the Sanral act came into being way back in 1998,” said Alli.

“If you do travel on a toll road and you do not pay it is an offence not to pay because you are disobeying the law.”

Apartheid was law... :whistling:

No speed progression cameras are allowed as well. Take a pic at this time at camera one, take a pic at camera two work out time difference fine if too fast. It happens a lot down to Durban from Johannesburg.
 
I would love to know what happens if you never receive the invoice? Are they going to send them via registered post?

The Post Office will make more out of this than SCAMRAL!
In many cases the cost (R19.60) will be more than the toll!

If they don't send it by registered post you have to do the responsible thing and dispose of the invoice in the appropriate recycling bin.

Thats called average speed law enforcement and that is on the cards as well.

How are SANRAL intending to send out invoices ?
 
I hear/see and feel panic,desperation,fear on the part of Nazir and Sanral with these threats.Why the threats now Nazir against a civil society? The law in this case for Gauteng citzens is like...

7 days to pay....
I can just see the collections department after 7 days.....hahahahahaha
the server will crash!!!
 
If you want to toll me, go build something new. Give me a choice.

Simple as that.

Turn me into a criminal overnight? Driving to work? After 25 years of using these roads daily?

Seriously?
 
Invoice me, allow me to dispute, provide indisputable proof and I will pay.

Example: I traded my Honda for another car in July 2013. Because of the delays in registering the traded car to the dealership and then to the new owner who subsequently bought it, I have received 3 speeding fines for a car I no longer own. 1 which happened during a test drive, by Honda's admission, and 2 after that by the new owner, to which he admits and is willing to pay.
I submitted documentation to JMPD and AARTO stating the circumstances under which those fines were incurred and to date have not seen correspondence from them, other than a plain-text email noting that they did receive the documents. The 50%-discount promo on all 3 fines have now subsequently expired so I owe around R3000 in fines for a car that I legally did not own when the infractions happened.

Yes, at the end of the day when worst comes to worst these fines will either be cancelled or transferred to the respective people who need to pay them but until then I am liable, all because of a flawed Government system.

And I just can't get my head around that one.12 yrs in my case when I was a migrant labourer.:D
