The Administrative Adjudication of Road Traffic Offences (AARTO) Act is now active in 62 South African municipalities, expanding its reach beyond the initial pilot phase. This second phase of national rollout introduces new obligations for businesses that operate fleets of vehicles. Businesses are now responsible for ensuring the traffic compliance of their drivers and vehicles, facing potential penalties for violations. The AARTO Act aims to reduce road traffic offences through stricter enforcement and an improved points demerit system. Companies must implement systems to monitor driver behaviour and address traffic infringements promptly. Industry experts warn businesses may underestimate the costs associated with adapting to these new requirements. Failure to comply could lead to significant financial burdens and operational disruptions.
