Roadblock crackdown in South Africa
While the Department of Transport plans to implement a 24/7 shift schedule for traffic police by March 2025, the Johannesburg Metro Police Department has vowed to use a new ‘three-strike system’ to crack down on unroadworthy vehicles. The JMPD said on Wednesday that “any vehicle found with three or more defects will be immediately discontinued from operating on public roads“.
