DA calls on President Ramaphosa to make a decision on the future of e-tolls
14 October 2020
The Democratic Alliance (DA) in Gauteng is calling on President Cyril Ramaphosa to decide on the future of e-tolls as a matter of urgency, before the Administrative Adjudication of Road Traffic Offences (Aarto) takes effect in July 2021
Last year, the DA raised concerns that operator class motor vehicles which do not pay e-tolls will be fined R500 and stand to lose one demerit point for every fine that is not paid.
This has now subsequently been changed and while the motorist will not receive demerit points, a fine will still be incurred, which is now double for failing to pay e-tolls.
The Act is just another way to force motorists to pay for e-tolls.
