In life, there are some things that are always labelled 'annoying to do'. For some people, it's standing in a queue, for others, it's opening mail, and then there's one chap who seems to find using a scissor annoying. 

It is natural for everyone to have different things that annoy us, but this one is unusual. 

Content creator Donald Nkomo shared that one of the things that annoys him the most is getting his car licence renewed. He videoed himself sharing his frustration with cutting around his licence disc each time he renews his licence, all while he cut the licence disc. 

Nkomo said that it all felt like a test of his scissor skills. Now that he brought it up, it does seem a bit backwards that the printing doesn't include some perforation around the circle...

Traditionally, vehicle licence discs are circular because they are meant to be displayed on the windscreen. The shape is not obtrusive and doesn't strain the driver's eye; it is minimal and looks neat and presentable. 

Surprisingly, many people agreed with his sentiment, saying they didn't understand the shape or why it wasn't perforated...

If everyone feels this way, they should assign the task to their kids, nieces, or nephews; this way, it doesn't have to be such an 'annoying' task.

According to Auto Pedigree, in KZN, the vehicle licence renewal rates are: 

  • Small vehicles R474 - R672

  • Medium Sedans R810 - R1,134

  • Large bakkies R1,350 - R1,764
