The driving licence extension expires by 23:59 on 31 March, however, Transport Minister Fikile Mbalula is set to make another announcement on the way forward. But, why not just extend the validity to 10 years?
The driving licence deadline has been extended numerous times during the Covid pandemic. But when will government address the chaos instead put pressure on motorists?
A new driving licence online system has officially been launched for South African motorists, but you'll still need to visit a driving licence testing centre for one crucial part.
OUTA notes that it expected Department of Transport Minister Fikile to challenge the outcome of AARTO being ruled invalid and that the organisation is prepared to go to the Constitutional Court to finalise this matter.
The ruling on the AARTO regulations being ruled unconstitutional and invalid is a great relief to South African drivers and has been welcomed by the legal fraternity.
