NewzThe civil action group Outa has filed an urgent high court application to halt the nationwide roll-out of South Africa's new Administrative Adjudication of Road Traffic Offences (Aarto) system. Under the contested framework, vehicle owners with unpaid traffic infringements face severe restrictions, including being blocked from licensing, selling, or transferring their motor vehicles.
In court documents, Outa argues that President Cyril Ramaphosa acted both unlawfully and irrationally in his handling of the system's implementation. The legal challenge seeks an urgent interdict to freeze the new traffic regulations before they take full effect.
