Unroadworthy vehicles flagged

───   KATLEHO MORAPELA 15:20 Thu, 17 Dec 2020 The Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC) warns that traffic law enforcement officers will be intensifying their campaign to remove unsafe vehicles from the roads ahead of the peak festive season travel. Spokesperson, Simon Zwane, says more than 1 800 vehicles countrywide have been removed from the roads after it was discovered that they were being operated on public roads while they had major defects that placed the lives of other road users at risk.  Zwane says over 1 400 public transport vehicles have also been impounded for operating without permits and overloading of passengers. Zwane says no stone will be left unturned in efforts to ensure road safety this festive season.

LETTER | It s time South African driving licence renewals should go digital - reader

Lefty Shivambu • South Africans are fed up with the driving licence system and having to renew your card every five years. • Recently we reminded readers that your driving licence never expires, only your card does. • Wheels24 readers Bev Moss-Reilly and Keith Moir share their thoughts.  • For more motoring stories, go to Wheels24. Following our recent reports that driving licences never expire, many readers have shared their opinions on this blatant money-making scheme since motorists are not legally compelled to renew their driving licence cards. Yet, if we don t, we lose anyway. Earlier in December, I shared with our readers that your driving licence never expires, only your licence card does. With the Road Traffic Management Corporation making threats against motorists of unlawful arrests, it s imperative motorists make themselves aware of their rights and the rules of the road.

In a statement this week, the RTMC advised all motorists to check if they have any outstanding traffic fines before embarking on their festive journeys. “Traffic officers are being deployed on all major routes and those found with outstanding traffic fines will not be allowed to proceed,” it said. “Traffic officers will also be deployed at various locations nationwide to deal with inconsiderate, reckless and negligent driving, speeding, drunk driving, vehicle roadworthiness and overloading.”
