Good news for driving licence renewals in South Africa

25th August, 2023, 2:47 PM

The Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (Outa) says that it has received confirmation from the Road Traffic Infringement Agency (RTIA) that it will temporarily suspend enforcement orders that are currently blocking licence renewals in the country.

Outa said that it has received numerous complaints from drivers who say that they have been unable to renew their licences due to enforcement orders issued on old fines.

“Outa discovered that the RTIA is converting infringement notices dating as far back as 2019 into enforcement order status, which in turn blocks the ability to renew vehicle and driver’s licences,” it said.

The group added that, in its view, this is taking place well outside the prescribed time periods, as is stipulated in the Administrative Adjudication of Road Traffic Offences (AARTO) Act.
