South African motorists have a bad rap for notoriously reckless and unsafe driving. The country has among the highest road fatality statistics in the world. This is why the Administrative Adjudication of Road Traffic Offences Act (AARTO) was written โ to change the ways of bad drivers. Itโs been partially trialled in Johannesburg and Tshwane for over a decade. Once AARTO is rolled out nationally later this year, bad driving habits could cost drivers their licences. Critics say itโs more about making money than road safety, but AARTO is meant to improve road safety and adjudicate infringements under an administrative system to alleviate pressure on an overburdened court system. Carte Blanche investigates whether AARTO can finally make the roads safer.
