Good news for everyone with a driver’s licence in South Africa

[Lupus]

but, like it or not, it's the widely accepted interpretation of the law that not carrying that card is against the law.

Eliminating the card eliminates that stupid interpretation.

It's the same as until 2020 when AARTO was changed, that an expired licence card was an invalid licence, it wasn't until amendments, cause they were like oh frak you mean we didn't actually have a law against that??? Plus what does an expired licence card actually represent? Some stupid arbitrary thing? It's not like the licence itself expired and you're now incapable of driving.
Notice the spelling of licence as well, since when are we yanks?
I would rather do the failure to present a licence or similar document as it's no points and no fine according to their own website, vs 3 points and R2000 fine.

"can i see your drivers license ?"

eish my phone is flat

R600 ticket

I would like to think that the copper pulling you over would be able to pull up your license with photo verification on their side as well.

So - which one is it? - 'Under Siege' (MyBB) or 'Good News, Everyone' (MyBB)...

Just think of the improved efficiency if BOTH the driver's licence card & car licence disc were no longer physical items - but were instead digital items that the traffic officials could easily verify online when doing their all-to-frequent 'traffic roadblocks' to check if either item was valid or expired - instead we have cANCer 'service excellence' (in)action at the provincial licencing departments when trying to renew both of them...
