Eish. I've just paid the road tax (kinda like our annual licencing in SA) for the new Wanqmobile, a Toyota Previa MPV. Because the vehicle has a 2.4 litre engine, I pay considerably more than a smaller capacity car. How much? £170 (about R2000 for 12 months road tax!).
Before this the vehicle's MOT (Ministry of Transport), which is an annual roadworthy certificate, also needed to be renewed. Because evey single vehicle on the road must be insured, you can only get your car's new road tax if you have your valid MOT (kinda like SA) and updated insurance policy/letter. Fortunately most UK post offices are able to process vehicle road tax.
Imagine trying to enforce a similar annual roadworthy test on vehicles in SA... LOL, can you imagine the outrage...!

LOL @ da wanqsta: I remember a couple of years ago when govt tried to introduce the card licence there was a big uproar, eventually it got done.
Having every car in SA insured is possible but we're far off, they first to get all the unroadworthy vehicles off the road.
@brad: The ad was in a leaflet for Vodacom.

Yep, I was in EL at the time when they were introduced.
Had to 'trade in' my SA driving licence card when I had my car and bike licences transferred onto my EU driver's licence. The SA ones get sent back to the SA embassy by the UK's DVLA.
What's great is that I can use my EU driver's licence card as much as I want when I'm in SA and it has no expiry date on it.
In the UK, the SA driver's licence card is only permitted for one year, the same duration as an international driver's licence that one can apply for at most AA branches in SA.

It's always confuzzled me how resistant people are to change, as Brix has mentioned. The card-type licence is a good example.
My Singaporean buddy and i have been speaking off innovations in the technological field, and were discussing the possibility of being able to order a customized phone in the future, specifically one combining the best features of various manufactuers and models. Is such a thing feasible, and any comment on timeframes?
