BRITS POS – PRETORIA – Die bestuurderslisensies se reusagtige agterstand kán ingehaal word en AfriForum het dit Dinsdag, met druk van proefkaarte bewys.
Dit kom na jare se onvervulde beloftes van ’n nuwe lisensiekaartdrukker en dit hier plaaslik in Suid-Afrika en nie oorsee nie – ’n ten volle funksionerende lisensiekaartdrukker, gedemonstreer op die Departement van Vervoer se voorstoep in die Pretoriase middestad.
‘n Bewys aan die departement dat verskeie opsies reeds plaaslik beskikbaar is wat aan al die sekuriteitskenmerke van lisensiekaarte se voorvereistes voldoen om sodoende die ernstige agterstand uit te wis.

Please note that seatbelts are mandatory on public roads in South Africa and nearly all cars are now sold with an occupant alert system that plays a repetitive warning tone when it detects a person is sitting down without wearing a seatbelt.
