Just been pulled over in Sandton for talking on my mobile (or cellphone as they call it in South Africa) whilst driving. I apologised to the officer and said it was an emergency, which it was, but normal I phone home while driving anyway, so I'm guilty and got caught, this time.
Believe it or not, the officer said just because I apologised I can make the price as to what the fine should be, I wanted to say R5, but I thought, let's empower the guy and said any fine he can think of is cool. So he halved it to R250. Call bananas!
Anyway, turns out it was his birthday today too and afterwards he thanked me for not being nasty.
