When we left the dark days of alert level 5 behind (for now), driving and testing centres started preparations to reopen their doors, shifting a couple of the driving laws previously in place.
Furthermore, all learner’s licences, driving licences, motor vehicle licence discs, and temporary permits that expired during the lockdown were extended for a further grace period of 30 days.
The latest regulations provide even more relief for those who have been unable to renew their driving or car licence during the lockdown.
The Department of Transport gazetted a new directive stating that all documentation that had expired between March 26 and May 31 would be extended for 90 days from June 1.
Per BusinessTech, these are the documents that qualify for the extension:
- Learner’s licences;
- Driving licences;
- Temporary drivers licences;
- Motor vehicle licence discs;
- Temporary permits;
- Roadworthy certificates;
- Professional driver permits.
