Roadworthy / COF

A roadworthiness certificate can be obtained from any private or public vehicle testing station. All vehicles with a GVM >3500kg must undergo an annual COF, and all vehicles that change ownership. The roadworthy process entails taking your vehicle(s) to a registered testing station. The vehicle will be inspected and if any defects exist with the vehicle, you will get a maximimum of 14 days to repair defects from date of test. A roadworthy certificate is only valid for 60 days from date of test. I will collect your vehicle and will assist in the process to get your vehicle certified. Upon certification a roadworthy certificate will be issued. I will send an annual reminder for vehicles' COF with a GVM > 3500kg

I will provide the applicable forms for you to complete and collect it from you. I will also send you an annual reminder to renew your vehicle license.

Micro Dot

Microdots are tiny polyester particles that are inscribed with unique information. Each microdot is no larger than 1mm in diameter for vehicles and 0.5mm for assets. In motor vehicles, 10 000 of these microdots are applied, using a special adhesive. Several swabs containing a number of microdots in each swab are applied to assets. The information etched onto the microdots relates exclusively to the identity of your valuables. The water-based adhesive used has UV additives providing easy identification of sprayed or swabbed areas.

The microdots are sprayed onto a minimum of 67 sites within the vehicle, making it difficult for would-be thieves to alter the car's identity. The sheer number of dots, both in overt (30%) and covert (70%) locations, effectively provides the vehicle with its own DNA. The dots are only legible under a low-powered microscope using a special UV light, making it difficult to determine exactly where they have been placed.

DataDot South Africa will continue to work with and be guided by Business Against Crime in the system implementation to establish a world best practice.
