CEO advocate Makhosini Msibi told journalists that traffic fines were not a strong enough deterrent.
The offences that will result in immediate arrest are:
- Driving without a licence;
- Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs;
- Failing to wear a seatbelt;
- Using an unroadworthy vehicle;
- Using an unregistered vehicle or having an expired licence disc;
- Exceeding the speed limit;
- Overtaking on a barrier line;
- Driving though a red traffic light;
- Not having number plates on each end of the vehicle.
"Make no mistake, we are going to be arresting people," Msibi said.
