5 major new traffic laws that every South African needs to know about

With 2018 coming to an end, a flurry of new legislation and proposed changes have been announced that South African motorists should know about.

A controversial change to the bill is that the option for offenders to elect to appear in court to challenge the prosecution has been removed.

Where documents previously had to be delivered by registered mail through the post office, in terms of the amendment, authorities will now also be able to serve documents via e-mail and to send reminders via WhatsApp and SMS.

Just another useless amendment, which firstly cannot and will not be enforced.

Secondly, if anyone takes these new amendments to court, I highly doubt it will pass legal muster and the laws will be changed again.

Geez... How about keep left, pass right?

Bigger issues are what that yellow, red and white lines & stripes on the road means, why there is an island, what is a legal speed vs why a car goes faster than it.

Keep left, pass right.. meh.. tiny insignificant issue vs the others if you ask me. More of an annoyance.
