Meanwhile, the Road Traffic Management Corporation has slammed some legal commentators for their dissenting opinions on law enforcement campaigns this festive season.
The RTMC recently published a list of traffic offences for which people could be arrested.
Among offences challenged for their legal validity, is one stating that drivers will be arrested for failure to wear safety belts.
RTMC's Simon Zwane says this is incorrect but emphasises that maximum penalties apply for failure to do so.
