R150,000. Whoa! That's like five years salary.

Given that Joburg drivers are less obliging to pay their fines, I wonder if there are any here who have wracked up more? I panic when I get a R250 fine.

I thought Cape Town's police were better down there, but seems there is bad police everywhere not doing there jobs.
