Government to discuss extending driving licence to 10 years in South Africa
The Automobile Association has welcomed a proposal to extend South Africa’s driving licence to a 10-year period.
“We welcome the fact that this is being discussed and reviewed and look forward to the findings from the research which, we are certain, will support our view that this should happen,” it said. “Given the enormous challenges of renewing driving licences, and in the context of the current backlogs, we believe an extension to the grace period beyond 31 March would have been prudent. As it stands, the number of those needing to renew is growing and government must do everything it can to accommodate them,” it said.
