Any person allowing an unlicensed person to drive a Code B vehicle (car) is liable for a fine of R3000.
Anyone allowing an unlicensed driver to drive a Code C1 vehicle (taxi or small commercial vehicle) is liable for a fine of R4000.
Anyone caught talking or texting on a cell-phone while driving is liable for a fine of R1500.
