Here are two key pieces of legislation governing road safety in South Africa:

• National Road Traffic Act, 93 of 1996: This is the primary legislation that governs all aspects of road traffic in South Africa. It sets out regulations for driver licensing, vehicle roadworthiness, rules of the road, traffic signs, and the powers of traffic officers, all aimed at ensuring safe road use and preventing accidents.

• Administrative Adjudication of Road Traffic Offences (AARTO) Act, 46 of 2008: This Act introduces a demerit point system for traffic offences. Its main objective is to promote road safety by encouraging responsible road user behavior through a system of penalties, including fines and demerit points, which can lead to the suspension or cancellation of driving licenses for repeat offenders.
