Look I know it is bogus to fight about a R200 fine. However we also have to fight to get our tires replaced if potholes destroyed it. It is an even bigger problem if you crash your car because of a pothole. The point is the municipality will not pay if you don’t take them on... or that is my experience. So you go and argue the fact that the tires in question was still road legal or the one was and then you talk to your lawyer and see if you can’t get back the money you had to spend. I am sure this is possible. But the point I am trying to make is give them one hell of a time! And make them pay for it! Because when it is your car that is written off because the roads are not being fixed then than they will give you a nightmare pill or two and then only after months! Will you have success that is IF you are lucky... Still think it’s worth paying that R200?
