AARTO ACT IN FORCE NATIONWIDE FROM JULY 2024?
- 21 July 2023
- Transport
- SA Legal Academy
According to Transport Minister Sindisiwe Chikunga, the Administrative Adjudication of Road Traffic Offences (AARTO) Act, 1998, as amended, will be fully operationalised on 1 July 2024.
In a recent media statement, the Minister said she expects this to make a ‘telling difference’ by ‘introducing severe penalties’ intended to end the prevailing ‘culture of impunity’. In addition to a points demerit system, penalties apparently include ‘attaching (the) movable properties of infringers’.
In anticipation of the Act’s commencement nationwide, the Department of Transport has:
- completed its work on the required ‘adjudication process’
- established a system for ‘the electronic service of infringements
- drafted regulations in liaison with the Department of Justice & Constitutional Development and on which provincial concurrence is being finalised, and
- prepared ‘recommendations to the President for the appointment of the tribunal’.
