If they are using CCTV evidence, how will they know who was driving the car? My wife drives my car. Her brother dives her car. My maid owns a pick-up and she doesn’t drive at all but her son in law drives it. And what about company owned vehicles?

 

A lot of people are going to say they lent the car to someone called Jiap who lives somewhere up country and they never knew his real name.

I thought it was three months from September. That means starting from yesterday. In any case, the traffic laws and their enforcers get another 5 weeks holiday from doing their job.

 

The whole thing is a joke (but I am not laughing). Points will only be deducted if one has a licence and if they are caught. 

 

The 365 dangerous days is the default position.

The vehicle owner is responsible for all infringements in such cases.... although I have no issue wrt fines in that case, it is unfair in the case of penalty points... ie only direct convictions. A pity, will never happen as police would have to work harder.

3 points for DUI. Great! I can get busted 3 times in 12 months driving on the turps before losing my ticket. What a time to be alive 

Plus they say once you have been done for an offence,  you can't be done for that offence again that day!!

 

How can that be so?
