RTMC says the windscreen disc requirement may end in licensing shake-up

# The Road Traffic Management Corporation says South Africa’s vehicle licensing system could shift to a fully digital model, removing the need for windscreen licence discs. Spokesperson Simon Zwane says the system would allow traffic officers to access vehicle and compliance data electronically through number-plate recognition tools. He says the move aims to curb fraud involving fake discs and modernise enforcement. He says no implementation date has been announced, but the system is expected to integrate with existing electronic traffic-fining technology.
