Went on a v8 run to moreesburg , we always meet at the engen 1 stop to paarl , as we left , some traffic cop stopped us (about 15 cars) and only allowed 5 cars to proceed  and then waited 10 mins and let another 5 cars go etc - he said more than 5 cars is a convoy and we needed permission to travel in convy - what the f--k!!!!!!!!!
Is this a new traffic law , we never heard of anything like it? Perhaps its the Capes law on blue light brigades , but it was pretty plain that the dodge viper , camaros , corvettes,  mustangs etc werent blue light cars.
At any rate we all met up at the stellenbosch off ramp and proceeded in convoy.
He wanted to fine the first guy , in a dodge viper , with no plates (had yankee plates) and about another 10 violations , R1000 - NOT for any of these violations (just about every car there had issues) but for being the leader of a convoy - he scrapped the fine but wanted a ride in the viper which the owner refused as he had his wife with and that woulda delayed us as well as him having to put his wife out in the middle of the road!!!!
Don't the cops have better things to do than to try enforce some idiotic law - if it indeed exisits!!!
