JOHANNESBURG – The Automobile Association maintains its assertion that the recently published draft regulation of the Law on Administrative Adjudication of Traffic Violations (Aarto) is aimed at obtaining revenue and not promoting road safety.
The association said the contentious law contains a tax, which could cause motorists to pay an additional fee of R100 for each fine they incur.
The association said that this tax will extract at least R 1 billion for every 10 million infringement notifications issued.
Transport Minister Fikile Mbalula published a draft version of the Aarto Law earlier this month for public comment until December 1.
Layton Beard of AA said that people’s rights could be infringed unless people start talking.
“We believe this is an important issue for citizens to support each other. We are very concerned about the rights of consumers and motorists and we believe that it is important for important people and citizens and we urge them to at least read and make their presentations if they feel the need to do so. “
