Driving licence extension a ‘small victory’ – Outa - The validity period has been extended to 15 April 2022
Its inability to offer motorists smart cards was highlighted when South Africa’s sole driver’s licence card printing machine broke in November last year, bringing the printing of driving licences cards to a standstill for more than two months.
Fick reiterated Outa’s call for extending the validity of driver’s licence cards from five to 10 years. The civil action group has been in conversation with the department to this end and has been calling for such for years. “It will not solve all the administrative and systemic issues, but it will definitely immediately alleviate the crisis that they currently have,” she said.
