The AA said it stood by its earlier assessment that the published fees demonstrate a lack of sensitivity to the plight of motorists, who simply cannot renew their driving licences.

“When the issue of the R250 for online bookings was raised, the RTMC took to social media and issued press statements claiming the AA and others were misleading the public,” said the association.

It noted that social media posts, press statements and media interviews do not constitute an official notification or correction of any amendment, especially a notice which has already been officially published in the government gazette. Only a republishing of the notice, with its correct and specific wording, would suffice legally.

Ultimately there will be no recourse for motorists when the R250 is charged in addition to the cost of the actual card, which almost doubles the total cost for this document in Gauteng.In light of this, the AA will continue with its online petition in support of its submission against the proposed fees due to be delivered to the department of transport on October 4.

“Since the RTMC and department of transport have not offered any formal correction of the original gazette, we remain concerned that the process will unfold exactly as it is stated. Ultimately there will be no recourse for motorists when the R250 is charged in addition to the cost of the actual card, which almost doubles the total cost for this document in Gauteng.”

I am not so sure. If you can afford the car, maintenance, insurance and the high cost of fuel, then isn't the licence a very small cost every 5 years?
