Guest Big H Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 I received this email today...... anybody know anything about it?????? "Please be aware that the de-merit system came into effect as from midnight last night. Points are being deducted for traffic violations on different scales and on this new system gets stored under your ID number, thus you could lose your license without even knowing it. This morning a number of people from UNISA as well as CRUVET were fined with heavy fines. There is no more 10km/h grace like in the past and they start from the first 1km over the speed limit. As from today they are out in full force."
Dirty Twin Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Heard them talking about it on the radio yesterday and received the e-mail as well. Might just be for real Oom.

cyclingfan Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Yep it's true. Got the new tarriffs for fines but it is to long to post here. e.g. Pedestrian or cyclist disobeyed regulatory sign<?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />R 100 The new system's name is Aerto. It is only effective in Pretoria and Johannesburg. But if you get points against you it goes on the licensing system on your car registration which is used country wide. 15 points and you lose your license.cyclingfan2009-07-09 06:31:56
gazza Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 The lady chief traffic officer was on Summit TV a month back and said the system was only going live nationwide in Q1 2010? but anything is possible..
Nettie R Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 There is no more 10km/h grace like in the past and they start from the first 1km over the speed limit. As from today they are out in full force." My speedo is out with 8km/h at 120km/h, according to garmin. It will be stupid of the traffic police to start from 1km/h over. This is the list on speeding.

Rocket-Boy Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 They have been talking about this for ages. I think the ones about pedestrians are a joke. You mean to tell me that all the people we have walking wherever they want across streets are going to pay fines? They wont even be able to issue them a fine as they wont have an ID on them and will claim not to know the ID number.
Nettie R Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Or to fine an unlicensed driver R1250 AND deducting 4 points from his driver's license.(which he doesn't have)
Bateleur1 Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Will have to wait and see. That iol report ORCA posted is a 2008 report. Not too long ago it came to light that the legislation for this has not really been proven in court and until that is sorted out, this whole AARTO thing is still only on paper.
Jackes Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 that taking away of the 10 km leverage is crap. Jackes17542009-07-09 07:19:59
Grayskull Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 there are some real beauts on the lis Driver not licensed R 1 250 4pnts - so where to what do they record your points? your ID? Disobeying stop sign or robot with non-RWC vehicle R 500 1pnt - cool so im going 2km/h over the speed limit, but i jump a red robot and sideswipe a car, R500 1 pnt no worries Accelerating while being overtaken R 1 000 3pnts - one of my favourite pastimes! On road less than 5,5 metres wide R 250 0pnts - you guys carry a tape measure in your cubby? Pedestrian moving into path of vehicle suddenly at crossing R 100 0pnts - will they live to tell the tale...

You drive 69 in a 60 zone they will let you go. Drive 70 in a 60 zone, you get fined for driving 70 in a 60 zone. Nothing new to that.
