Longer life for drivers’ licences
GOVERNMENT has a plan to make drivers’ licences valid for 10 years instead of the current five years.
This is in terms of the amendment to the National Road Traffic Regulations published Government Gazette on 20 September.
The proposal is for licence cards to expire a decade from the date on which it has was first ordered from the card production facility, thereby doing away with the administrative inconvenience of having to renew every five years.
Motorists and would-be drivers’ licence holders have four weeks to comment or object to this proposal.
These can be sent to John Motsatsing or Phillip Magagane, Department of Transport, Private Bag X193, Pretoria, 001 or fax 012-309-3574/3684.
