Road Accident Family Protection Plan

Fri, 05 Mar 2010 08:10:13 +0200

Covering you and your family in the event of personal injury in a road accident.

“Recent amendments to the Road Accident Fund Act means you and your family are exposed to greater financial risk.”

All road users contribute to the Road Accident Fund. This contribution takes place via a levy that is charged as part of the price paid on each litre fuel sold.

The Road Accident Fund’s purpose is to compensate victims of motor vehicle accidents. Recent amendments to the legislation that govern the Road Accident Fund has resulted in a material reduction in benefits previously offered to road users.

Specific effects of the amendment

Medical cost claims will now be limited to the rates charged by public health authorities so if you are treated in a private hospital the difference will have to be covered by yourself or your medical aid.
General Damages claims payable for pain, suffering and / or disfigurement will be limited to instances where injury results in 30% or more of total body impairment or long term impairment or loss of body or mental function.
Removal of a person’s common law right to sue the party that caused the motor vehicle accident for loss or damages.

The amendment effectively shifts the responsibility onto every individual to ensure that he or she has adequate personal accident cover and health insurance.

The Road Accident Family Protection Plan

The Road Accident Family Protection Plan pays a lump sum benefit in the event of personal injury* caused by a motor vehicle accident on a public road.

This benefit is payable on the lives of the insured and their immediate family.

Monthly Premium and Cover Amount

Cover for	Personal injury cover	Monthly premium
Husband/Wife	R100 000	R95.00

Toll Roads in South Africa

Mon, 22 Feb 2010 12:00:00 +0200

ROAD SAFETY & TOLL ROADS – FAQ'S

Why have toll roads?

Roads form the main artery of economic competitiveness, growth and social development. To Build roads costs billions of rands. Toll roads assist us in meeting the demands of social services, which are important for the growth of our country. Toll roads accelerate the availability of initial funding for construction , compared to traditional tax based funding. They also make new road capacity available to motorists sooner. Toll roads therefore reduce the total net cost to the economy, ensuring greater opportunities for prosperity and growth.

Why have toll roads now?

South Africa has a history of toll roads as far back as the 1700’s when the governor of the Cape Colony collected tolls to effect repairs to the roads. Tolls were also levied on roads in the former provinces of Natal and Orange Free State up to the end of the 19th century. The modern toll road was established in 1983 in the Tsitsikamma.

Why do I pay taxes and now also tolls?

When we pay taxes these monies are used for the service which government renders to us all. Taxes are used to pay for these services, whether we make use of all of them or not. Tolls on the other hand, pay for only that portion of road that we use in other words it is a user fee. Toll fees are used directly on the road, which is a benefit to the motorist.

Taxes are not used to fund a toll road and therefore reduce the tax obligation of the individual. This has resulted in lower income tax payable. Therefore, without tolls more income tax would have been necessary to fund roads.

Why do we have to pay tolls on an existing road, which was paid for out of taxes?

Road performance depends on how, what and when maintenance id performed. Roads deteriorate over time due to environmental influences such as weather, ultra violet radiation, overloading etc. Tolls are not levied on the value of the current asset (road), but only on the initial and future improvements, including operations and maintenance. Monies derived from taxes are used on other, non toll-roads, including city streets.

What are my tolls used for?

The tolls collected on a specific road are used to, inter alia, repay the loans obtained to finance the building, upgrading or improvement of the road. In addition, it provided a dedicated on-going revenue stream, which enables the road to be adequately maintained and improved, independent of tax –based revenues.

What do I get from using a toll road?

Toll roads are built and maintained to the highest possible standards. Because we uphold such standards, South Africa is recognized as a world leader in pavement technology.

Therefore you are ensured of a smooth ride, saving you on the running costs of your vehicle and saving you time. Improved security ensures you a safe and pleasant journey. Tolls ensure that funding is available much sooner, for adding highway capacity at the right time thereby relieving congestion, reducing losses in time and productivity.

Traffic Fine Payment and Road Safety

Thu, 04 Feb 2010 11:11:49 +0200

How do you pay your traffic fines swiftly and with ease?

The Arrive Alive Website has partnered with Pocit to enable drivers to pay their fines with ease and on time! Traffic fines should not be regarded merely as an inconvenience – but rather an important measure to enhance the safety of all road users. It needs to serve as a warning to respect the Rules of the Road and to be alert and safe on our roads!

Pocit – South Africa’s fastest, cheapest, safest mobile payment system

…mobilising money though every bank, on every cellphone network

Innovative South African cellphone payment solution, Pocit (www.Pocit.mobi) is proud to be associated with Arrive Alive and PayFine in finding constructive ways to help motorists fund the services that save lives and make travelling safer.

Pocit can be used on any cellphone with a colour screen on any network. Pocit can send or receive money from any bank, all the payer needs is your cellphone number. Pocit, a uniquely South African system, also does not require special SIM cards as some payment systems demand. It has the widest range of applications of any cellphone payment system in South Africa. You can pay your municipal bills by cellphone with Pocit or big retailers like Truworths or Woolworths; you can pay your Neotel account, medical bills, shop online with e-Dreams or pay for a magazine subscription like Huisgenoot.

According to the Payments Association of South Africa cellphone payments are safer than any other form of payment system. By contrast internet banking is becoming increasingly perilous, the SA Banking Risk Information Centre (Sabric) said “bank related internet-based crime is being regarded as the fastest growing form of crime globally.”

Pocit is considerably faster than internet banking and much cheaper it takes a minute to make a payment at a cost of 35c on your bank or credit card statement compared to a minimum of R3,50 for internet banking and at least R6 to draw cash from an ATM or around R10 to draw cash from a teller in a bank.

David Reynders, managing director of Pocit, which is part of Tradebridge, led the team that developed it. “Those with credit or cheque cards can use Pocit to pay anyone who has a cellphone that is GRPS enabled (has a web browser).”

Reynders forecasts that 2010 will see rapid growth in mobile payments. “South African consumers have not yet adopted cellphone payments as they eagerly as they have in Asia, where many payments are done using mobile telephony – you can buy a softdrink by pointing your cellphone at a vending machine and clicking. Or even in the United States, where Bank of America alone has more than 25m clients making payments, checking account balances and transferring money with their cellphones.

“Once you use a system as secure and as easy as Pocit, everything else seems slow and inconvenient. Mobile payments are possibly the biggest advance in money use ever.”

He also pointed out that while internet banking on computers was common for the elite, more people have cellphones and will increasingly use those for payments. The United Nations International Telecommunication Union says Africa had 65 million new mobile telephone subscribers in 2007. Cellphone penetration rose from one in 50 people in 2000 to a third of all Africans population today.

Reynders said, “Pocit is the fastest, cheapest and most secure way to pay anyone. Even if you lose your cellphone, no one cannot log in without your pin. The financial meltdown in global markets has underscored the need for change – we’re proud to be part of the solution.”

Shock Absorbers

Wed, 03 Feb 2010 12:00:00 +0200

Shock Absorbers and Road Safety

What is a shock absorber?

To most people a shock absorber is an unseen component somewhere near the wheel and suspension which never needs to be checked or looked at as it always works and does not wear out or need replacing; and perhaps like tonsils in a human do not really need to be there…

This is unfortunately not true as a shock absorber (or damper as it should be called) keeps the tyre in contact with the road by “damping” out excessive spring movements and bouncing, and as we all know tyres need to keep a grip on the road surface in order for the driver to retain control of the vehicle – so without a fully functional shock to keep the tyre in contact with the road surface, no driver would be able to maintain control of a vehicle. As an added bonus a good shock gives drivers a more comfortable ride as well.

Essentially a shock absorber is a metal cylinder filled with a special hydraulic fluid, with a top and bottom mounting (to be attached to a vehicle), which has a piston rod and piston that runs inside the cylinder. The piston has special multi-stage valving built into it that allows the fluid to move through it at a predetermined rate which in turn restricts the wheels from bouncing excessively. Many shocks also have nitrogen gas injected into the cylinder to improve their reaction time and to reduce heat and noise.

Heat is a shock’s worst enemy as it builds up quickly and once the shock fluid reaches boiling point air moves through the valving with the fluid and causes the shock to loose its damping efficiency and it goes “soft”. Over time this heating and cooling plus the continues movement of components causes a shock to wear out and in some cases for oil seals to leak. As this process of decline is very slow, most drivers will not notice and will adapt their driving to compensate. Which is why it is essential to have your vehicles shocks checked every 20 000km, particularly once a vehicle has reached a mileage of over 70 000km. Do not assume shocks are checked when your car is taken in for a service as this seldom happens; specify that they must be checked or take your car into a specialist fast fitment centre and they will check them for you at no charge.

This information was provided by Tenneco Automotive SA, manufacturers of Monroe and Rancho shock absorbers. Monroe has been keeping motorists safe on the roads since 1916 and is fitted to more new vehicles than any other brand in South Africa. Tenneco Automotive produces the world’s biggest selling shock - Monroe, and is a multibillion US Dollar USA based company with over 60 facilities on 6 continents and 150 countries around the world.

Celebrity Wall

We believe that road safety awareness should however not only depend on the memories of the fallen road accident victims – but can also be promoted by positive messages from celebrities who wish to encourage their fans to stay safe on the roads!

Celebrities are followed closely and their fans often attempt to emulate their actions! They face many unique safety challenges and are well aware of the dangers of peer pressure and risks on our roads. We believe that road safety message from our celebrities will have much more impact than those only received from road safety authorities and traffic officials.
