It will, among other measures provide for the suspension and cancellation of the registration of an examiner for driving licences or an examiner of vehicles, who have been convicted of serious crimes.
“The bill provides us with more instruments to aggressively tackle the intractable challenge of corruption that continues to bedevil the vehicle and driver licencing system. Our efforts to uproot the cool drink phenomenon will intensify. We’ll not hesitate to throw the book at those law enforcement officers who continue to allow unlawful conduct on our roads. We’re similarly determined to lock up those motorists who bribe our officers,” Mbalula explains.
Thamsanqa Mabena of the DA, while supporting the bill, condemned earlier attempts by Minister Mbalula to introduce zero percent blood alcohol requirement for all drivers. He says these would criminalise law abiding citizens.
What about the Land? Section25
Just shows that they have no understanding of the causes and solutions to road incidents! We need a comprehensive strategy, short to long term. Legislation on its own will change nothing!
Good morning fellow South Africans
Fix the roads!
Stop corruption at that level anyone can obtain a driver's license yet they don't know road safety rules🤔🤔
Step 2: Implement a propper and safe public transport system, trains and busses. One that we can rely on, and where the operators/drivers actually adhere to the road rules set by government, unlike the current state where taxi's are seemingly above the laws of rhe road.
Drunk drivers on the road every day, reason why road crashes always. They should start with that first
Step 1: Fix the Cargo Railway system, thus cargo can be transported by train. More time and cost-effective, fewer trucks on the road, less damage to our roads, and more environmentally friendly. A win for ALL...or a functioning Cargo Railway system too much to ask of Transnet?
Interesting yhaz & I Wanda how does it plan to reduce car crashes...maybe strict law enforcement & less corrupt traffic officers.
South Africa is a funny country always waiting for something to happen then actions will be seen , sadly after two weeks the same bill is forgotten 🥴
Who will implement it? Will there be accountability? Let’s hope.
