About this publication
This updatable loose-leaf provides a section-by-section commentary on road traffic legislation in South Africa, preceded by a comprehensive survey of the history, purpose and scope of the legislation. Provisions of the Act are interspersed with commentary, making for easy cross-reference between Act and commentary. In addition, it covers a number of matters governed by other Acts and by the common law. Provisions of the Road Traffic Act 29 of 1989 that are still in force are discussed separately. The work includes a chapter on medico-legal issues focusing on the measurement of blood alcohol levels of drivers of motor vehicles, and the evidentiary value of the results obtained.
