    This everyday act behind the wheel could cost you between $125 to $2,000—Depending on one detail

    I can't understand why there is a difference in fines. Road laws are supposed to be national. e.g. amber lights are 25 kph in SA and a different speed limit interstate

    It depends if she is what used to be known as "low" care or "high" care how much you have to pay. When my Mum was in one I did all her personal washing rather than pay to have it done, mainly because she had very sensitive skin and some washing detergents definitely aggravated her Dermatitis.

    I loved my old washing machine. I could set the water level to exactly what I reckoned I needed. It was a top loader and I could fill it with rainwater when we had enough in our tanks. You can't fill a front loader that way, neither can you open it and add one or two small items
