Outstanding warrant? No new licence!
12:00 (GMT+2), Mon, 02 July 2012

WESTERN CAPE NEWS - Drivers with outstanding warrants of arrest will soon not be allowed to renew their driver's licences or register vehicles in their name, Western Cape transport and public works MEC Robin Carlisle has warned.

The new system, Admin Mark, will prevent drivers with outstanding warrants of arrest from accessing any eNaTis service, including obtaining a licence disc or roadworthy certificate, or transferring a vehicle registration.

The Admin Mark will be placed on the eNaTis records of anybody in the Western Cape with an outstanding warrant of arrest for a traffic offence. Warrants of arrest are only issued when a traffic fine is not paid and the car owner is not in court on the court date.

Carlisle said: "Individuals with an 'Admin Mark' will not be able to conduct any transactions with eNaTis until they have cleared up the matter with the traffic official who requested the warrant of arrest."

Public transport operators, such as owners of tour buses, minibus taxis and metered taxis, will not be able to obtain or renew operating licences until their eNaTis records are clear.

Carlisle said: "The Admin Mark will mean that you may find yourself without a valid driver's or vehicle licence, which could harm your livelihood and that of your family."

Before the Court can issue a warrant of Arrest, the accused must receive a summons...Right? Can this summons be posted by regular mail or must it be served? I've removed my post box because of all the junk mail. Not so long ago I found an envelope from Mandela Municipality lying in a corner, wet and pulped because of rain. Is this a way to serve a summons? The money hungry Municipalty misfits regard speeding fines as revenue generators . Nothing to do with road safety.

And who will except the irresponsibility if the owner is not guilty? Will eNaTis copensate?
