Agreed - my pov is that there should be a mandatory sentence of 5 years before anything else for failure to stop and remain at accident. Make it even more if someone was killed.
As a point of interest, can the steps of the "hit and runner" be retraced through bank transactions, cctv, cellphone movements, etc. to establish whether he was at pubs, clubs, etc. One way or the other, all of these F$^*& get away with murder.
Also a positive experience on my side.
Unit died (deep sleep) over the weekend, Unsuccessfully tried all Google remedies without any luck.
Being in Pretoria, decided to do a quick lunchtime trip to Rosebank on Monday to drop of unit which was still under warranty (540 Solar less than 2 years old).
Received NIL invoice on Tuesday and when I came home on Wednesday afternoon the replacement unit had been delivered.
Can't fault that.
Hi, I don't think any of them work anymore (speaking under correction, but from my experience)
There are a lot more timing companies in play and all have their own little number board that is either mounted on seat post (road mostly) and handlebar mtb).
Some you only get on raceday while for others I bought the number and use it for those races, i.e. trailseeker and 947.
Cheers
On the side, my daughter ordered 2 LP's earlier this year from the US of A, and in both cases they came through SAPO without significant delays. She tracked them through the source which meant that she knew when they arrived (never got a notification from SAPO). We don't have many functioning Post Offices left, but the one at Menlyn was OK.
If you have a towbar, I would suggest that you rather get a platform rack, just a lot less hassle overall. (coming from someone that has the 2 bike towbar hanging rack as well as 4 bike hanging rack for hatchback).
Haven't had any issues with ANT+ for last 5 years.
Similar setup, after the ride I delete the Garmin one from Strava. (stats on Garmin are a bit messed up though).
I did 156 in 2023 - total elevation was 688m - mostly ok roads, but there was some sandy patches and proper corrugations as well, especially on the section to Dikhololo. (Just a ps, I see start is later, but with a 7:00 start the temperature dropped to -2.7 and a bit colder - that was slightly unexpected).
First part reasonably flat, from 50 to 100 2 smallish bumps and and from 100 onwards just a steady drag to end.
Maybe someone can give current condition of canal roads - was there in March after the rains and some sections were eroded.
Did 92 km last year - only 400m elevation. Later start, nicer temperatures.
Both were lekker days out with some cold beers afterwards at the small airport going down well.
About a year ago (May '24) I had the following options when my 520 malfunctioned:
Edge 530 @ R4016
Edge 540 @ R5355
Edge 540 Solar @ R 6025
These are Ex Vat prices - went for the solar and am satisfied.
Can a minimum sentence (let's say 5 years) be introduced for leaving the scene of an accident (except in an ambulance). before police, etc are on the scene?
So "Hit and Run" start with minimum and then the rest gets added on...
Also investigate drivers actions prior to accident with most likely expenses incurred at a bar / pub / club (CCTV / bank transaction, etc.)
Hi,
Good luck with CL (just go in with low expectations).
Otherwise try info@silverbacklab.com
You might get lucky with a warranty claim, but from my prior experience (where the part was older than 2 years), it wasn't one.
Sido's have not been produced for may years.
