For motorists not paying their etoll accounts, their distress are becoming more and more cumbersome with the approach of the new Aarto law, coming into effect the 1st of July 2021.

In a notice issued to South African motorists via its website, the South African National Roads Agency (Sanral) states that new licence discs can be withheld from drivers until their e-toll bill is settled.
The agency confirmed this warning appeared on the company’s website in a statement to the City Press, although it did not state whether licence discs were already being withheld.
According to Fines4U owner Cornelia van Niekerk, this warning is likely a step to prepare for the implementation of the Administrative Adjudication of Road Traffic Offences Act (Aarto).
While these regulations must still be finalized, they could have a severe effect on those who do not pay e-tolls in South Africa.
The new traffic laws proposed in the Aarto regulations will have an effect that is too frightening to imagine, according to Justice Project South Africa (JPSA) chair Howard Dembovsky.
