Increased charges for driving licence cards form part of larger revisions of the National Traffic Information System under the control of the Department of Transport. The higher fees for the driving licence cards will have severe negative repercussions on the recipients and motor vehicle owners who will certainly not want this option at all as there is negative growth in their income. Apart from this, the growing need for vehicles requires a lot of funds for households to maintain living standards, while another increase in living expenses now makes life more difficult.
The new charge will be applicable to a`nyone who seeks new driving license, renewal of an existing card, or replacement of a lost or damaged card. Preliminary figures reveal that the potential increases may work significantly higher than the previous rates, thus adding to the difficulty of managing the costs of routine license transactions for drivers. The additional expense may be a barrier for many, especially for low-income drivers and those still in the process of learning.
Reaction from the Public
Many drivers have derided the indicated increase in the cost of the fee hikes. On social media, on certain community forums, drivers have branded it as “unfair” and “ill-timed,” especially with very high fuel, insurance, and vehicle care costs. Suggestions are that the officials reconsider the scale of the increments, if for nothing else, learners or those whose licenses are up for renewal.
