New traffic fines

[Baboel]

Here are something to think about before going to fast again.

I had to go through to George for a quick wedding on Saturday. The roads were free-flowing and mostly empty. Three cameras on the way out and 3 on Sunday morning when we came back. Speedcops sitting in unmarked vehicles, not wearing uniforms and 2m in front of the 120 boards. I still can't see how this contributes in any way to safer roads, but hey, who am I to disagree...

I was never caught, though. Thanks to all the guys who flashed! Appreciate it!

[Baboel]

dph, you could be lucky, but wait, maybe there is something coming in the post.

[vizzerman]

Where does this list originate from, and in which provinces does it apply?

[Baboel]

Received it as email. Think it is National.

JHB is still R100 for speed between 71 - 79km/h in a 60 zone.
