Transport ministry to appeal Aarto Act driver demerit system ruling - Minister Fikile Mbalula says motorists’ behaviour will change with disincentives for ‘unbecoming conduct’, but Outa and AA say the legislation was carelessly drafted

Speaking at the release of the 2021 festive season fatality statistics at the Grasmere Toll Plaza on 18 January, Mbalula said the importance of Aarto in driving behaviour change of motorists and providing disincentives for unbecoming conduct cannot be overemphasised. He also said that the legislation is the final piece of the puzzle in the implementation of a new road traffic management system.

Outa challenged the constitutional validity of Aarto on the grounds that the Acts were administratively complicated and relied on chaotic municipal systems.
