Course overview

Clearly understanding the Administrative Adjudication of Road Traffic Offences (AARTO) Act, 1998, before the planned rollout on 1 July 2021, is crucial. The impact and cost of driver disqualifications, penalties, suspensions and revocations could be tremendously detrimental to any entity, especially as our economy attempts to recover from the effects of the pandemic.

In this short course, respected road traffic and transport legislation expert and LexisNexis author Alta Swanepoel, clearly explains the AARTO Act, including the newly gazetted draft regulations, the administrative system, offences, infringements and demerit points.

Through an interactive online learning experience coupled with a forum discussion led by Alta, delegates will be brought up to speed on the administrative charging system for alleged infringers, as well as the Points Demerit System that aims to change the behaviour of road users to ensure compliance with road rules and create a safer road environment. Alta also explains the differences between the AARTO system that already applies in Tshwane and Johannesburg and the criminal procedure system that is currently in place in the rest of the country.
