The Western Cape Government has announced a new proposed traffic law for vehicle impoundments of serious traffic offenders, reports Wheels24<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Western Cape Amendment Bill proposes:<\/p>\n

1. Enabling the provincial minister to make regulations in respect of the impoundment of vehicles for certain road traffic offences.<\/p>\n

2. Repealing the National Road Safety Act, 1972 (Act 9 of 1972) in the Western Cape and, in its place, adding provisions to the Western Cape Provincial Road Traffic Administration Act that will facilitate the promotion of road safety through educational, promotional and research activities.<\/p>\n

Responses to the Bill have generally been positive. South Africans have until 12 October to lodge an official comment with the Department of Transport and Public Works.<\/p>\n

Do you think the proposed law is a good thing? Let us know in the comment below and in our forums.<\/strong><\/p>\n
