Deputy Minister of Transport Mkhuleko Hlengwa says they are encouraged by traffic officers who are applying zero tolerance towards motorists attempting to bribe officers after failing to comply with traffic laws.
A high number of motorists have been arrested for drunk driving, reckless and negligent driving, and operating unroadworthy vehicles during law enforcement operations since the beginning of the festive season.
Hlengwa says that with the assistance of the Department of Public Service and Administration, they now have a dispensation, an exemption to exceed the overtime threshold, which enables them to pay traffic officers working on the roads.
