Haha there is a points system i'm told, in order to work out your bribe lol, it's something along the lines of 50 rand per police officer.
haha, I haven't had to do it so I can't comment!
My girlfriend is actually from Cape Town, so i've been there a couple of times already (plus I did a stint at Koeberg in 2010) and am going again in 4 weeks as she's popping home for a break.
That mountain is quite a sight.
I Know i've been unbelievably lucky to come out here, i can't really put it into words, but it's been absolutely amazing and I shall thoroughly miss the place when i return home! The previous 3 years had been pretty shitty with the ex doing a runner and leaving me up shit creek with the finances! I had only signed up to 10 weeks originally but was happy to stay on after meeting Karen, plus it enabled me to get all the monies straight once and for all!
The damage to the unit was pretty extensive, difficult to go into detail as Eskom shrouded it in secrecy, but suffice to say I doubt anyone will see that kind of damage again. Luckily nobody was killed as it was done at night.
That road train is an absolutely phenomenal sight - the trailer has 288 wheels just on it's own and they all seem to be Michelins lol. Overtaking generally is so simples in this country as the roads are long and straight when you're not travelling through the hills. 120km/h seems ludicrous on the highway when you can cruise all day at 170 without issue in reality the roads flow so smoothly. Gotta watch out for the trucks though which are overloaded and crawl along at like 40 in some sections.
