So one of those official looking letters turned up in the mail.
“Ugh.” I groaned. Traffic Fine.
I’m a good driver, I keep to the speed limit (since having kids, it’s like I can’t drive any faster).
But occasionally, the traffic cops sit at one of those awkward spots, like when you’re descending a bridge and the road *just* levels out, and they radar trap you when you’re 0.3 km/hr over the speed limit. Okay, maybe a bit more but still, I’m just saying that I am not one of those frequently fined drivers. But I do get one or two every few years, I accept that.
So I filed away the paper work and forgot all about it.
…
Oops. I got another notification in the mail, and I remembered about it. I just thought, ugh, I really don’t want to have to go to the husband about this, I’ll pay it as soon as I have the spare cash lying around.
Filed away *that* piece of paper work and forgot all about it.
Until hubby found the paper yesterday, and had a minor freak out about it.
We can’t just THROW away money like this!
Can’t you be more careful?!
Open your eyes when you’re driving!
Then he calmed down completely and said that it wasn’t a huge amount of money anyway, and that we should just go online and pay for it, so that it doesn’t become a problem later (in SA you get a court summons and really, we don’t need things to go *that* far over a piddly speeding fine).
So off we tootle online to the website listed to pay the fine in question and lo and behold, the photograph pops up, and I click on the ‘enlarge’ button…
Yes, that would be *two* people sitting in that car.
At this point I’d like to point out to my friends who live in countries where you drive on the WRONG side of the road, that in SA we drive on the left, so the driver is the person on the left hand side of this photograph.
Let me zoom in for you…
Sweet Justice.
