Contingency Plan for New Driving Licenses

The National Traffic Department says it has put a contingency plan in place for motorists waiting for their new driving licenses following a five-month strike.

There is a backlog of 90 000 license cards after workers downed tools in July.

Listeners have contacted the Afternoon Drive team to say they are getting into trouble on the road because of their lack of documentation.

Department spokesperson, Ishmael Mnisi says motorists who applied for their license renewal in time will not be issued with a fine if stopped by traffic officers.

Those that have applied for their driving license pre the expiry of their driving licenses, three months before.
