Bonus Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 In the past three days I have seen a police roadblock with an E-Toll caravan in attendance on a freeway on-ramp. Sunday was the on-ramp from Allandale onto the N1 south in Midrand, Monday was the on-ramp where the R59 North joins the N12 West and yesterday was the on-ramp where Comaro street (headign North) joins the N12 West (which is 1 junction along from the R59 roadblock on Monday). Both are on the Southern Bypass. Question is, what powers do these guys have? I have a valid drivers license and the bakkie I drive is taxed and roadworthy but does not belong to me. There are outstanding e-toll bills against the bakkie which the owner of the bakkie (my girlfriend) has no intention of paying. I have visions of them having a credit card machine in their caravan and trying to make me use it! lol

Uni Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 According to DA shadow minister of transport This is simply illegal and criminal. Motorists must not be intimidated in any way. There is no compulsion and no legislation to force anyone to sign up to e-tolls. In any case, if such legislation were to exist it would not pass constitutional muster.” Full article herehttp://businesstech.co.za/news/general/61215/sanral-threatening-motorists-over-e-tolls/
Firozfx Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 This has been on twitter for a while now. Check @jpsa for info. The Sanral vehicles are present as it detects false or cloned plates. The officers present are not allowed to ask about etags as the "roadblock" is only to find falsified plates
