The Road Transport and Safety Agency (RTSA) has given a grace period of 18 days within which motorists and fleet owners should acquire motor vehicle and trailer licences (road tax) and Road Service Licences (RSLs) for the year 2020.
All motorists, fleet owners and Public Service Vehicle Operators PSVs) have been given an extension of up to 20th January, 2020 to pay for the required licences.
Therefore, effective Friday 3rd January 2020, there will be no enforcement of the validity of the said documents until the stated grace period has expired.
The Agency is providing this grace period to accommodate the licencing needs of all motorists and fleet owners.
However, the extension does not include the certificate of fitness and the test certificates as the two relate to road-worthiness and the safety of the motor vehicle.
The RTSA hopes that the public will utilise the extension to comply with the law.
The Agency further wishes to urge motorists to renew and pay for motor vehicle and trailer licences for the year 2020 in accordance with the provisions of the Road Traffic Act No. 11 of 2002.
There is no extension for Motor Vehicle Insurance. Be uptodate.
We need a plan to decongest pay points. How about online payments? It’s torture to line in a queue to pay.
As a person who personally takes road safety seriously, I would urge all citizens to abide by these regulations. Let us work together and avoid unnecessary friction with authorities. Kz
Sounds better… thanks!
We does RTSA have all motorists renewing at the same time. Each license should expired on the same day it was registered. It should be continuous registration and each rego has its own rego date and expiry date. Letting all people do it at once is recipe to congestion.
Imagine all driver’s licenses or passports expiring at same time. They cant handle it.
@Muntu,it is like being saved from a noose of a hangman reading your English. My brain has even suffered from brain depression. Too difficult to read.
RATSA you are promoting indiscipline that is becoming so rampant in Zambia today. When you extend, queues disappear until two days to new deadline
I want to agree with Muntu above. Let road licences run to the date of previous payment. That way they will not expire on the same day. And motorists will make full use of their money. Imagine one paying on 2nd January and another on 25th March. Both licences will expire on the same date.
This issue of extension year in year out i totally agree with Muntu and John Chinena let licences run the previous pay like in the case of fitness and we have no issues with it.
Motorists avoid Madison Insurance. It is INSOLVENT. It’s sister company Madison Life is insolvent as is Madison Asset Management where my small retirement money is stuck for over 3 years and now company is seeking creditors protection. It owes creditors over K246 millions plus interest from July 2019 that translates into K297 million. It has assets only worth K90 million. The so called head office of LSA Group is owned by Madison Asset Nanagent and is included in above total assets of K90 million.
What is government doing? What iscSEC doing, Pension and Insurance Regulator doing?
Motorists ask your brokers to confirm in writing that Madison is solvent, it’s assets are more than its liabilities, it dies not owe Atlas Mara Bank K240 million, in conjunction with Madison Life and…
And Lawrence Sikutwa personally owes Atlas Mara Bank. He owes to Investrust Bank, Cavemont Bank lost money, Focus Finance lost money, real estate gone sour. End is near,blearn from Meridien Bank saga bit is a repeat of Meridien Bank.
Forewarned!
