Detained for being over the legal limit of alcohol? A few things Justice Project says you to be aware of!

Question:

Hi, I have a quick query. If you are detained for being over the legal limit of alcohol AND you are taken to be held in a holding cell, how long are you required to be there, is there a compulsory time period or are you able to be released one you have called a friend and they have come with the bail money, is there a need to be detained any further?

Also, if the police station has run out of “stationery” is it right for them to keep you detained for hours after even if you have the bail money? Surely that is prejudicial treatment to the one who is being detained because it is the stations’; mismanagement of their resources which has left the detained subject to suffer longer hours of detainment than is necessary.

And when giving blood, if you mention that you only allow YOUR medical practitioner to withdraw blood (before blood is drawn) and the ones drawing blood choose to not give you the option to call your medical practitioner, is that legal? I should think not.

;

Answer:

Your question/s may have been “quick” to ask, but they are certainly not quick to answer. I shall however do my best to keep my answers short.

;

1. When a person is arrested for alleged driving under the influence of alcohol, SAPS Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) dictate that such a person must be detained for a minimum period of 4 hours so they may sober up before being released. In reality however, this period is often in excess of twelve hours.


2. A person who is detained for any criminal offence cannot simply be released until such time as the necessary documentation required to be contained in the docket has been completed and it is usually a detective that needs to complete such documentation.


3. Whilst there are always detectives on duty, at night or over weekends, there are usually not as many detectives on duty as would be the case during “normal working hours”.


4. I am not sure what you mean by the police station “running out of stationary” and therefore cannot comment on that beyond saying that if this were the case, one would think that your friend would have been detained until such time as he appeared before a court, or stationary was acquired.


5. Persons who are detained after allegedly committing a crime must be brought before a court within 48 hours of their arrest, except where such a time would occur over weekends and public holidays. Where it does, they must be brought before a court on the next court day.


6. The purpose of the above provision is for the arrested person to make an application for release on bail, however the Criminal Procedure Act further allows a policeman to grant bail to a detained person at any time before that. It does not however say how speedily they should do so, nor does it compel them to grant bail.


7. Insofar as the drawing of a blood sample for evidentiary purposes goes, your friend, and everyone else for that matter, has no right to demand that their medical professional of choice draw their blood sample. Section 65(9) of the National Road Traffic Act also defines refusal to provide a breath and/or blood sample as a criminal offence and whilst I realise that your friend may not necessarily have entirely refused to provide a blood sample, that would not be helpful to his case.


8. There is also a requirement in Section 65(3) of the National Road Traffic Act further requires that a blood sample be drawn within 2 hours of the alleged offence.

;

It is my view that lengthy detentions of any person accused of any non-violent crime are both, unnecessary and counter-productive and this practice should really be reviewed by SAPS management as a matter of urgency. Furthermore, whilst SAPS SOPs hold that intoxicated persons should be checked on regularly (once per hour), or more regularly (once every half an hour) if that person is severely intoxicated. In reality, this rarely happens as prescribed and even if it did, a person can drown in their own vomit in a matter of minutes if they are intoxicated to the extent that they are comatose.

;

Every case is different however and unfortunately, in this particular matter, it sounds to me like your friend’s behaviour towards police may have aggravated his position. Police men and women are human beings too and when people become uncooperative, and sometimes, combatant with them, it is very hard for them to resist the temptation to take longer to do something – thereby further inconveniencing the source of their frustrations, without breaking the law. The behaviour described in this story appears to indicate that your friend was obstructive towards police and this could most certainly have aggravated the situation and extended his detention, as opposed to helping the situation.

Scion Exec Says FR-S Convertible and Turbo Models Will not Come about

Soon after years of reports indicating one issue, then the other, just before swinging back to the 1st issue, neither a convertible nor a turbocharged variant of Scion’s FR-S sports automobile will see the light of day. In an interview with WardsAuto, Scion senior vice president Doug Murtha states unequivocally that the FR-S will remain a coupe with a naturally aspirated, Subaru-sourced flat-4.

On the topic of the madly yearned-for turbocharged engine selection, Murtha deadpanned: “That’s not something that’s coming.” Ouch. As for the droptop variant (rendered above), it seems no organization case could be produced that didn’t involve losing oodles of cash. According to WardsAuto, Murtha claims Scion “went down swinging” on that project.

In addition to chilling the hearts of enthusiasts everywhere like cold November rain, the news that Scion failed to convince parent company Toyota—which sells the FR-S as the GT86 globally—to invest additional in the FR-S signals that the model’s future could be in turmoil.

---

---

Recent word is that the FR-S and its Subaru-badged sibling, the BRZ, might not see a second generation, a future that grown ever more real in the case of massively slowed sales of the cars. As WardsAuto points out, the turbo FR-S and the droptop have been intended to stanch the typical sales hemorrhaging every coupe experiences roughly 2 years into its life cycle. Guess how lengthy the FR-S has been on sale? Yep, and Murtha adds that sales are indeed cooling. The only feasible constructive from this news? Offers on spankin’-new Scibarus down the road.

Suzuki Swifts sold in SA are safe says 3 -Star rating!

• Swift models sold in SA awarded 3-star rating


• Local models compliant with local and global safety standards


• Zero score for base-spec model sold in India only

Concerns regarding the safety rating of the Suzuki Swift 1.2 produced in India, which have emerged in the wake of a recent Global NCAP crash test, are not relevant to the model sold in South Africa.

According to Charl Grobler, sales and product manager at Suzuki Auto SA, the test was conducted on 2 different grades of the Suzuki Swift: the Indian basic specification model, and the Latin American export specification version.

“However, the Swift 1.2 model offered for sale in SA is the export specification version, which comes equipped with ABS and dual front airbags. Therefore, the zero safety score is not applicable to the locally available Swift model,” Grobler added.

The Global NCAP test conducted on the export model as sold in SA resulted in a 3-star rating. The Swift 1.2 also meets all SA regulations and compulsory specifications as set out by the National Regulator for Compulsory Specifications (NRCS) – previously known as the SABS.

Grobler points out that SA customers seeking an even higher level of active and passive safety can opt for the Swift 1.4 and Swift Sport models. These models benefit from additional safety systems, including a total of 6 airbags, Brake Assist (BA) and Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD) for the ABS braking system, and Electronic Stability Programme (ESP).

Formula 1 Discusses Return to V-8s, Mercedes Says It Will Leave F1 If That Happens

Formula 1 teams and fans of all colors can agree: These muted, altogether unsatisfying sounds from the turbocharged hybrid engines adopted this year need to go. But Mercedes is not agreeing with the crowd.

Mercedes-AMG Petronas chairman and F1 champ Niki Lauda told Worldwide Motorsport Media that, “If V-8 comes back, Mercedes will be gone.” Lauda was referencing the ever-clearer possibility that F1 rules may create off the complicated 1.6-liter turbo V-6 engines and electric motors that the FIA mandated for the 2014 season. F1 CEO Bernie Ecclestone stated last week that “we require to modify the regulations” and would “try to get rid of these (V-6) engines.”

There’s zero incentive for Mercedes-AMG Petronas to switch back, as the Silver Arrow has won all but 3 of the 18 races run this season, with the final race of the year happening in Abu Dhabi on November 23. Final month, the team clinched its initial-ever constructor’s championship and even taunted Ferrari outside the Italian team’s Maranello headquarters. The exact same engine powers 3 other F1 teams such as McLaren, Williams, and Force India, and Mercedes would extremely much like to see these contracts continue in order to pay off its substantial R&D bill.

Mercedes-Benz AMG 1.6-liter turbo V-6 F1 engine

The present season killed the naturally aspirated 2.4-liter V-8s that had been in location since 2006. Those engines wailed to 18,000 rpm and made 750 horsepower—or higher in short bursts thanks to the KERS technique. They were reportedly less expensive to create, too, which is why lower-spending budget teams like Caterham aren’t in enjoy with the newer engines, which can make only 600 horsepower and have 2 sophisticated electric motors that can boost horsepower to about 760 for 33 seconds on every single lap.

---

---

Even Ferrari, facing gloomy final results on track, voiced the possibility in June that it may leave F1 for sports-auto racing since “nobody watches racing for the efficiency, come on.” Renault, the only other engine manufacturer, has voiced equivalent issues and could force F1, by way of a majority vote with Ferrari, to relax the rulebook on engine development beginning in 2016. Honda, even so, decided to return to F1 for 2015 after a 6-year absence because of the stricter fuel-efficient regulations, such as limiting fuel to roughly 35 gallons per vehicle in every race. Honda will replace Mercedes as the energy behind McLaren starting in March. Whatever happens, we hope F1 clears its throat and gets back to getting loud and proud.

Ram Trucks CEO Says No 707-hp Hellcat Pickup “At This Time”

The story at Chrysler these days is the supercharged Hellcat V-8 engine. Seriously, it is a 707-hp engine you can purchase in a single of 2 fairly normal and affordable cars, the Charger and the Challenger. As fascinating as that is, what truly gets us excited is figuring out what Chrysler item the Hellcat will finish up in next. We had lunch with Ram Trucks’ new CEO, Bob Hegbloom, and we had to ask: When will we see a Ram 1500 with the Hellcat engine?

Hegbloom’s answer? “At this time, I would say no.”

And would you believe it, that response didn’t ruin our day. That is due to the fact, in addition to Hegbloom’s adhere to-up statement, which integrated nods to “other areas [of Ram"s organization] with a bigger opportunity,” we’d place an emphasis on the “at this time” portion of his answer.

It’s our assumption that the Hellcat engine has a future under the hoods of, well, quite a lot anything Chrysler, Dodge, or Jeep builds that provides a V-8. Just look at Jeep, which not too long ago trademarked the “Trackhawk” name, which could refer to an upcoming Hellcat-powered Grand Cherokee SRT model. Whilst there’s no indication the Hellcat V-8 will make its way into, say, the Dodge Durango, we say go for it.

---

---

A Ram 1500 SRT Hellcat—or Helltruck, or Haulcat, or what ever you decide it ought to be called—with the blown V-8 under its giant hood would not only be great, but also would be a worthy descendant of the old Dodge Ram SRT10. That truck, as an general idea, was almost more unhinged than the thought of a 707-hp Hemi V-8 not only was it motivated by the Viper’s V-10 engine, but it routed power to its rear axle via an sincere-to-goodness 6-speed manual. Dodge already has claimed the title—verification pending—of the world’s quickest sedan with the 204-mph Charger SRT Hellcat, and the SRT10 nonetheless holds the title of world’s fastest pickup truck. Who doesn’t want to see Ram elevate the latter record from almost 155 mph to, well, anything a lot higher?

SAIDI says it has workable solutions for concerns about lack of driver training

South Africa was rocked by the news report on Tuesday 14^th October 2014 that a a shocking crash occurred on the N12 Alberton freeway. 4 innocent people were killed and 57 or thereabouts, were injured.

The next morning at 8am the Honourable Minister of Transport, Ms D. Peters, announced that a lack of driver training was responsible for the road carnage.

SAIDI has the solutions to the lack of adequate and fully comprehensive driver training.

SAIDI has extensive plans for every driving instructor in South Africa to be trained to the highest possible standard, comparable to International standards, to suit South African conditions, provided we can secure an appointment with the Honourable Minister of Transport, Ms Dipuo Peters.

We are all geared to “train the trainers” to prepare a massive contingent of driving instructors to offer excellent driving instruction with exactly the same fully-comprehensive training, across the board, to meet the need of all the whole driving population in the country.

We believe there can be no compromise when it comes to road safety. This is a matter of life and death, when we consider the devastation just one driver can cause.

So we believe the time is over to stop talking about road safety.

SAIDI has workable solutions!

Now it is time to accept our God-given responsibility and to train the Nation’s drivers, to reduce the official road fatality statistics (an official average statistic of 14 000 people a year, which might feasibly actually be as high as 22 000 according to a highly-experienced practising paramedic), and get down to teaching the public new ways of protect themselves from becoming victims of other drivers’ bad driving.

We either train drivers comprehensively, covering defensive and advanced training techniques, or we don’t do it at all.

Our plan includes:

1. Refresher course for experienced drivers, with insurance benefits;


2. Understanding what affects drivers attitudes:


3. Upgrading the defensive driving standards of all licenced drivers;


4. Thorough and comprehensive learner’s licence training directly from the national road traffic act;


5. New driver training;


6. “finishing off” lessons;


7. Per-primary school children;


8. Primary school pupils;


9. High school pupils;


10. Foreigners and immigrants;


11. Habitual offenders;


12. People with disabilities, such as paraplegics and quadriplegics;


13. Pregnant mothers, mothers with babies and children;


14. Senior drivers; people who have suffered traumatic brain injuries, etc. etc.

and it provides many totally unexpected additional benefits to the community as a whole.

AAA Study Says Hands-Free Voice Controls Boost Driver Distraction—Sometimes By A Lot

A new study on voice-activated infotainment systems has finally taken our rants and grumbles and turned them into cold, tough clinical analysis that says voice-recognition systems in all vehicles fairly much stink. In fact, they unnecessarily tax our brains and can pose much more of a danger than speaking on a cell phone.

The study, commissioned by AAA and performed by researchers at the University of Utah, involved 3 experiments with roughly 40 drivers aged 18 to 40. Every experiment — beginning with a blank computer screen, then progressing to a driving simulator and a public road course in Salt Lake City — assessed 9 different scenarios in varying complexity, from switching radio and HVAC to dictating and listening to emails and texts. To hold almost everything apples to apples, the researchers designed their personal voice control system modeled after a typical factory setup and compared human and computer voices, as well as a handsfree version that mimicked Apple’s Siri Eyes Free of charge. Random, frustrating errors have been thrown in the mix to maintain factors realistic. On prime of all that, researchers recorded drivers’ heart rates, brain activity, and reaction instances to braking and other inputs via a blinking light in their eye.

The outcomes: We get much more stressed dictating commands or messages than listening to them, and our mental capacity behind the wheel additional shrinks when a voice technique screws up, provides as well several alternatives, or takes also long to approach. Speech good quality from computerized voices didn’t seem to make a distinction. Siri, in spite of its reliance on natural language, was deemed the most complex and least intuitive of all. Similar commands at times achieved diverse results, dictated texts cannot be edited and call for the driver to commence all more than once more, and Siri’s “sarcasm and wit” wasn’t appreciated by the test drivers, especially surprising thinking about their typical age was in between 24 to 25.

“We already know that drivers can miss stop indicators, pedestrians and other cars even though utilizing voice technologies due to the fact their minds are not completely focused on the road ahead,” mentioned AAA CEO Bob Darbelnet in a news release. “We now realize that existing shortcomings in these items, intended as security attributes, might unintentionally lead to greater levels of cognitive distraction.”

When comparing factory systems on a 1 to 5 scale of increasing workload, AAA found Toyota Entune was the simplest and least distracting at a 1.7 rating. Following have been Hyundai BlueLink (2.2), Chrysler Uconnect (2.7), Ford MyFord Touch (3.), and Mercedes COMAND (3.1). Chevrolet MyLink (3.7) scored the worst of the automakers, but it was nonetheless well behind Siri at 4.2. (Even though no test like this is completely objective, if you read the entire study here and right here, you’ll see how nicely they attempted to level the playing field amongst several diverse drivers and systems.)

---

---

AAA recommends automakers put a maximum of 4 or 5 selections when asking drivers to pick from preset menus, speed up the processing, and, in general, quit already with the draining, multistep voice controls that just compel far more drivers to fiddle with their smartphones to get what they want. The National Highway Visitors Safety Administration, which introduced suggestions for infotainment displays last year, intends to specify equivalent guidelines for voice-activated systems, even though no specific laws exist on the books.

Dodge Viper SRT MSRP Reduce by $15,000, A Dealer Says It’s Currently Producing Heat

Nicely, that didn’t take long: Chrysler announces a $ 15,000 value drop on its slow-moving make that slow-promoting 2015 Dodge Viper SRT on Monday morning, and by Monday evening, Bernie Katz currently sold 3 of them.

Katz, partner with TUDOR United SportsCar Championship Viper driver Ben Keating in ViperExchange.com, the world’s largest Viper dealer and portion of a complete-line Chrysler dealer in Tomball, Texas, stated that the price tag cut speedily kindled a fire below undecided consumers. “We have other bargains working,” Katz said, “and we’re hearing from men and women all over the country.” The $ 15,000 drop makes the base cost for the freshly updated 2015 model just $ 84,995.

But wait, there’s far more! Choose one particular of the unsold 2014 Vipers from the lot of A Dealer Close to You, and you can get $ 15,000 on the hood, also. Additionally, there’s a $ 15,000 voucher obtainable to existing-gen owners to use toward a new 2015 Viper or in conjunction with trading in their 2013 or 2014 model toward the new 1.

The 2015 Viper gets a slight horsepower boost, but it won’t be available until subsequent year. If you’re interested, you will be able to walk into any Dodge dealership and get one—currently availability is limited to pick Viper stores. But if you can reside with only 640 horsepower, you can get a tire-smokin’ deal on a leftover. At Katz’s dealer website, they at the moment list 23 new 2014 Vipers.

The base sticker value of a 2014 Viper Coupe is $ 99,885 prior to the $ 15,000 cut. But note that destination and delivery adds $ 1995, and the gas-guzzler tax yet another $ 2600 (the penalty for reaching EPA ratings of 12 mpg city and 19 highway). 1 quite lightly-optioned 2014 model we located on Viper Exchange had only a handful of add-ons—$ 3000 for leather seats, $ 800 for upgraded Pirelli tires, and $ 1700 for fancier matte wheels. That adds up to a pre-discount sticker of $ 109,980, and just a single of a handful of 2014 Vipers we found that listed for under $ 110,000. So rates can add up really, extremely rapidly.

Which, Katz stated, was a dilemma. There is no argument that the existing-generation Viper is the nicest ever—standard stuff contains a contemporary and user-friendly navigation method and a 900-watt, 12-speaker sound system—and Dodge insists that, offered inflation, the discounted 2014 Viper fees about the identical as the $ 50,700 1992 model that included, effectively, basically a heater. Which you didn’t genuinely require provided the absence of insulation and the hellaciously hot side pipes.

But let’s face it: The MSRP of a base 2014 Chevrolet Corvette coupe is $ 53,995, and the 2015 will price just $ 1000 more. And the brutal, new 2015 Corvette Z06 starts at $ 78,995. To insist that a new Viper, at pre-discount rates, is worth almost the value of 2 new standard Corvettes is a challenging case to make. For what it is, “the new Viper is undervalued,” Katz stated. But asked what has kept the vehicle from selling, Katz has a one-word answer: “Price.”

Sales have been undeniably terrible since the auto re-entered the marketplace as a 2013 model. Final month, Dodge sold just 38 Vipers whilst Chevrolet sold 2679 Corvettes. There have been Viper production cuts and layoffs and plant shutdowns.

---

---

So this may be just what the Viper needs. Dodge would be delighted to sell 1500 Vipers a year. In fact, if just half the 2300 Dodge dealers that will be promoting the Viper next close to can move just one particular, the organization would be far ahead of exactly where it is now. “It’s a excellent automobile,” Katz said. “And this price cut must give much more folks a opportunity to find out that.”

Honda Kills Match EV, Says It Is Committed to Other Forms of Electromotive Transportation

Honda is discontinuing its Match EV by the end of the year as it concentrates on other types of electrified autos such as the Accord PHEV and the production version of the futuristic-looking FCEV notion that rocked the 2013 L.A. auto show.

The Match is the most recent casualty of Honda’s evolving approach to electromobility. Earlier this year, Honda announced its decision to discontinue the slow-promoting Insight hybrid, but this news regarding the Match EV is, nicely, news contemplating the push toward electrification in today’s automotive landscape. Not that the car’s departure is all that surprising: Primarily based on the earlier-gen Fit, the EV was primarily built to satisfy a California zero-emissions car mandate, and distribution of the lease-only model had constantly been capped at a mere 1100. In a telephone interview with us, Honda spokesman Sage Marie told us that Honda is committed to leasing all 1100 Match EVs, despite the fact that he did not know how many a lot more were left on dealer lots in the handful of states to which they have been allocated.

What do Honda’s BEV plans hold? Marie had valuable tiny to say on the subject, stating only that “We are committed to electromotive technology, such as hybrids, plug-in hybrids, BEVs, PHEVs, and fuel-cell automobiles. Our path forward consists of a robust lineup of those technologies.”

---

---

It appears that the tiny CR-Z isn’t going anyplace, nevertheless, even although Honda sold even fewer of them than it did Insights—1999 versus 2333 via June—despite a recent refresh for 2013. “It is going to be in our lineup for the foreseeable future,” said Marie.
