Somethings worthwhile mentioning ...
Smoking motorists beware
The city of Cape Town has warned that it will be tough on motorists caught flinging
burning cigarette butts or matches out of car windows in the coming fire-season
months.
Butts and matches have caused hundreds of fires and Fire and Rescue station commander
Denzel Ramedies said a R1000 fine would be issued to anyone caught throwing burning
cigarette stompies or matches on the ground. He said high winds and dry vegetation
during the dry summer season made the Western Cape more prone to the risk of fires
spreading rapidly and becoming uncontrollable.
"Everyone has a role to play in minimising the risk. The city calls on all motorists
to make use of the ashtrays in their vehicle to dispose of matches and cigarette
butts," Ramedies said. He said the intention of the campaign, launched last year,
was not to fine people but to encourage them to police themselves.
Working on Fire's national co-ordinator, Michelle Kleinhans, said the initiative
was "absolutely wonderful. It will definitely stop more fires from starting," she
said.
WoF, which co-ordinates teams of firefighters nationwide, responded last year to
more than 100 wildfires in the Western Cape, two thirds of which occurred in January
and February.
The city amended its fire safety bylaw last year to make it easier to fine people
who threw burning butts or matches out of car windows.
It is now no longer necessary for the prosecution to prove who tossed out the burning
item. Instead, the owner of the vehicle would be fined unless he or she chose to
take the matter to court, Ramedies said.
If a driver or passenger is spotted throwing burning matches or cigarette butts
from a vehicle they may be reported to the city's 24-hour emergency control centre
on 021 424 7715 .
"Witnesses are asked to provide their name and contact details when reporting a
transgression of the bylaw. Once a case has been reported, a fire department official
will contact the complainant to investigate the case," Ramedies said.
The centre will ask for details of where and when the incident occurred, as well
as the vehicle registration number and description.
THE COFFEE IS STILL BREWING
"Join THINK BIKE for coffee and a chat every Friday morning. We would love to see
you and discuss how we can make the roads safer for
ALL road users
- or just a general chat with fellow bikers."
- Date: every Friday morning from 07h00 - 09h00
- Venues: Renegade Kawasaki [Cnr Voortrekker and Van Riebeeck Roads, Parow] or Seattle
Coffee Shop [Constantia Village Centre]
Weekly updates will happen ... when it happens [sorry] ... check in again next week,
or subscribe to the newsletter.
Keep it safe ... keep it real. Peace and love ...
Thought for the rest of the year ...
There comes a point in your life when you realize
who matters,
who never did,
who won't anymore ...
and who always will.
So, don't worry about people from your past,
there's a reason why they didn't make it to your future.
