Exclusive: The all great Lotus Evora

With its stunning visual impact, exhilarating all-round dynamic
performance, innovative chassis technology and high levels
of luxury, packaging and convenience, the Evora heralds an
exciting new era for Lotus.

The first all-new Lotus since the iconic Elise made its debut in 1995, The
Evora enters the sports car market as currently the world’s only mid-engined
2+2. Powered by a Lotus-tuned 3.5-litre V6 engine producing 280 PS, and
weighing just 1350 kg (prototype specification), the Evora promises
breathtaking performance. During preliminary testing around the famous
Nürburgring, the Lotus chassis engineers report that it is extremely agile and
great fun to drive – even when clad with the full development disguise that hid
the beautiful lines from the prying motor-industry paparazzi.

In addition to its excellent performance and exemplary handling, the Evora
offers a more refined ownership experience than Lotus’s existing smaller four cylinder models. Its elegantly styled cabin is elegantly trimmed and its
equipment list includes contemporary features such as an advanced touchscreen multi-media system and electric power-fold door mirrors.

THE DEMERIT POINTS SYSTEM WILL NOT BE IN PLACE DURING THE PILOT PHASES IN TSHWANE AND JOHANNESBURG. NO DEMERIT POINTS WILL BE ALLOCATED TO INFRINGERS.

THE DEMERIT POINTS SYSTEM WILL NOT BE IN PLACE DURING THE PILOT PHASES IN TSHWANE AND JOHANNESBURG. NO DEMERIT POINTS WILL BE ALLOCATED TO INFRINGERS.

The demerit points system has been introduced to penalise drivers and operators who are habitual offenders. But it also rewards law-abiding road users, as it reduces 1 point every 3 months down to zero demerit points if no contraventions occur.

Demerit points are recorded against your name in the following instances:

• When penalties and fees are paid
• When you apply to pay in instalments
• When you are convicted in court
• When an enforcement order is issued

How is demerits awarded?

Every person starts with 0 points and the maximum permissible number of points is 12. In other words, a person is allowed to drive until he/she has 12 points. Every point exceeding 12 points results in a three-month suspension of the licence. One point is reduced every three months if no further contraventions occur within the three-month period. A licence is cancelled when it has been suspended for the third time. The demerit points in respect of vehicle operators and drivers are recorded separately even if they arise out of the same incident.

Reduction of demerit points

If demerit points have been incurred by an Infringer, such total number of points as recorded in the national contraventions register on NaTIS against that person will be reduce with one (1) point for every three (3) months during which no demerit points were incurred by that person, except for the time the court found that the court process had been deliberately delayed by that person to obtain a reduction in points.

What if?

• Multiple infringements

If you have committed two or more infringements arising from the same incident, demerit points are recorded only in relation to one such infringement or offence to which the greatest number of demerit points applies.

• Learner’s licence

If you have a learner’s licence at the time of the infringement, your demerit points will only start to reduce when your licence is issued.

• Unlicenced drivers

If you are an unlicenced driver, you receive no discount and your demerit points will only start to reduce when your licence is issued. If you are caught for the third time as an unlicenced driver you will be arrested.

• Non-operators

A juristic person who is not an operator receives no demerit points, but pays three times the penalty amount. Proxies cannot get demerit points on behalf of a company.

• Court cases

If you elect to go to court under AARTO demerit points are only recorded when you are found guilty. f you appeal against a conviction by the court for an offence no demerit points are recorded unless of course the appeal is rejected or abandoned. Nothing prevents you from approaching a court to appeal or review the total amount of demerit points recorded against your name.

Suspension of a driving licence, professional driving permit or operator card

If a person incurs demerit points which, when added to the points previously recorded against that person in the national contraventions register on NaTIS, exceeds a total of twelve (12), that person will be disqualified from driving or operating a motor vehicle. The disqualification period equals in months the number of points by which the total of twelve (12) is exceeded, multiplied by three (3).

A person who is so disqualified:

• (a) Must immediately hand in any driving licence or professional driving permit to the issuing authority for retention by such authority during the disqualification period or must remove the prescribed operator card from the vehicle in applicable cases; and
• (b) May not apply for a driving licence, professional driving permit or operator card during the disqualification period.

Any person who drives or operates a motor vehicle during his or her disqualification period is guilty of an offence and liable on conviction to a fine or imprisonment for a period not exceeding one (1) year or to both a fine and such imprisonment.

Upon expiry of his or her disqualification period, a person may apply to the issuing authority to return his or her driving licence or professional driving permit or to reissue an operator card.

Cancelation of a driving licence, professional driving permit or operator card

A person who incurs demerit points resulting in a disqualification to drive or operate a motor vehicle for a third (3rd) time, must immediately hand in his or her driving licence, professional driving permit or operator card issued in respect of that vehicle to the issuing authority. Upon receipt of such a driving licence, professional driving permit or operator card, as the case may be, the authority will take the necessary steps to destroy such licence, permit or card.

New Ferrari 458 Italia In Various Colours

Just the other day, Ferrari introduced the all-new 458 Italia to the world for the very first time. In true Ferrari fashion, the F430’s replacement was shown in the Italian firm’s signature red color. And even though your typical Prancing Horse fan wouldn’t have it any other way, we’re pretty sure that there are many customers out there that would prefer the 458 Italia in a different hue.

The same thought passed through the mind of FerrariChat poster ‘JimF’ who decided to use his photoshop skills to create a gallery of images of the mid-engined supercar in numerous colors. Check a few of them out below.
