Industry association the Road Freight Association (RFA) says the North Gauteng High Court’s judgment that the Administrative Adjudication of Road Traffic Offences (AARTO) Amendment Act (Act 4 of 2019) is unconstitutional is unsurprising because there had been many significant changes made to the original Act (46 of 1998), which had passed Constitutional scrutiny. “The RFA has been very clear and outspoken about the flaws that the association identified in AARTO that, in our view, were predicated on revenue generation and not on changing driver behaviour and vehicle maintenance to ensure safer roads,” says RFA CEO Gavin Kelly.
