@ Piet, Seja & all
Kanthi what determines the fine? Is it the size of your pocket or the offence? I am totally clueless. I was once caught doing 180km/h on a 100km/h zone and the guy actually showed me in writing how much would the fine be. Believe me it was less than R2000.

Remorseful, my foot. The court should use this type of incident as an example to other motorists by setting huge fine or even imprisonment. This country is having lots of vehicle accident daily.

Some of you claim to be angels here. How many of you make offences almost everyday? I bet someone who is blogging now broke the law this morning.
The law is not for celebrities but for everyone.

That fine is too much. It should be less than R2000 it think

Fining him R10 000 is not going to help him,instead he suppose to be banned to drive en confiscated his licence en if he cn drive again without it,he supposed to be arrested en fined 10 years imprisonment,because he hv money fining him wont help.

I think they are just a bunch of chancers. I took a photo of the GPS and sent it in with a letter and they scrapped the ticket immediately.

Yea, even if you are guilty, if you write a letter, they normally reduce the fine or throw it out. We can't ignore tickets here, they won't renew your licence disk without you paying up

5 months is nt enough,the so called celebrity some of them are above the they want them to kill innocent people so that law will consider harsh decision for them.He supposed to be banned to drive for life en if he doesnt obey he mst sentenced 20 yearsv imprisonment so that the perpetrator will know that the law hv the course.
