Nine traffic offences that will land you in jail
RTMC has warned that drivers will be arrested on the spot for these nine offences
MESSAGES from local government and traffic officials this festive season is very clear: don’t take chances.
Other than an emphasis on the ‘zero tolerance’ policy usually adopted during the festive season, the Road Traffic Management Corporation yesterday announced a list of nine traffic offences that will have drivers arrested on the spot.
– Driving without a license
– Driving under the influence of alcohol/drugs
– Failing to wear a seatbelt
– Using an unroadworthy vehicle
– Using an unregistered vehicle or having an expired license disc
– Exceeding the speed limit
– Overtaking on a barrier line
– Driving though a red traffic light
– Not having a number plate on the front and back of your vehicle
RTMC CEO Makhosini Msibi warned that they will be making these arrests, as they believed traffic fines were not a strong enough deterrent.
