Traffic authorities have started impounding the vehicles of drivers who flout the law in addition to imposing fines or arresting motorists under an amended bylaw passed by the City of CapeTown .

“In an effort to turn the trend of insolence and carnage on Cape Town's roads, the traffic bylaw of 2021 was passed and promulgated in 2022. These penalty amounts have now been passed and published in the tariff schedules for the 2023 financial year that began in July.

“With the harsh action intended to bring about lasting reform, the amended traffic bylaw is the long-awaited answer to the majority of lawful motorists who long to see an improvement in road safety,” he said.The impoundment of vehicles, depending on whether they are towed or attract storage fees, can result in significant costs for errant motorists wanting to get back their wheels.
