Joburg man says licence renewal discs annoy him

It seems cutting out the circular shape of your vehicle licence disc is exasperating.

We can agree that some tasks in a grown-up's life can seem mediocre, but that's how the cookie crumbles, right?

There are things that we have to do as adults that may seem like a complete waste of time or simple-mindedness, but they are almost like a rite of passage that we have to endure. 

One of those mediocre tasks is cutting out your car licence renewal disc. 

A content creator shared how cutting out car licence discs just seems like a tedious task that should be relooked. 

Donald Nkomo shared a video about how he thinks that cutting out licence discs is a waste of time. He said it felt like he was being tested for his scissor skills as a grown-up. 

It felt demeaning for him, and we can agree that there's always a more efficient way of handling these mediocre tasks. 

It could be a case of delegating the task to someone attending primary school. Of course, under supervision, you wouldn't want to cut out any important information, as that makes the disc invalid.  

Considering you can pay anything between R408 to R1,716 for your licence renewal in Gauteng, perhaps cutting this disc isn't such a mediocre task at all, considering it holds much value. Check out more information on the cost of renewal here
