Pretoria - A member of the metro police recently argued in reverse gear after he fined a motorist who's reverse lights was only working when the vehicle was in reverse gear. The astonished Mr Willem Smit from Pretoria could not believe it when he received the R200 (South African Rands) fine.
Smit was on his way from Hammanskraal when the metro police pulled him over to do a roadworthy test on his vehicle. "I gave them total co-operation, because I knew my vehicle was in complete working order. They tested everything. I then got the shock of a lifetime when I was issued with a fine because my reverse lights only worked when in reverse gear!"
Smit tried explaining to the metro police that this is the way all motor vehicles are supposed to work, "they didn't want to listen and said that I should take the matter up with the head of the department". I rest my case...........
