Johannesburg - The Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (OUTA) is set to challenge the government’s proposed regulations to the Administrative Adjudication of Road Traffic Offences (AARTO) Amendment Act that will prevent motorists with e-toll debts from renewing their car licences.
The organisation said it has submitted its comments on the proposed regulations, adding that it was ready to challenge the matter in court if the Minister of Transport Fikile Mbalula does not “go back to the drawing board”.
“Our legal team studied the proposed regulations, and it is clear that this Act will change very little when it comes to road safety. It is OUTA’s informed view that the intention of the legislation and the regulations is to make money and not protect road users. It may even open the door for more corruption in the form of bribes,” says Andrea Korff, Senior Legal Project Manager at OUTA.

As government continues to drag its feet on providing a “solution” to the failed Gauteng e-tolling system, roads agency Sanral is gearing up for a new legal framework which could see motorists fined, or having licence renewals blocked if they don’t pay their outstanding fees.
The City Press reports that new warnings from Sanral have started appearing online, including a warning that vehicle licence renewals will be blocked if a driver has not paid their e-tolls, the paper said.
A Sanral spokesperson reportedly confirmed that the warnings were live, but could not say whether the changes were in effect.
