Hi guys, I need your help. The 'in laws' come from Bots, and they have a vehicle that is registered in bots, got stopped by the police near dullstroom. Apprarently the 'law has changed' and they require a triangle on the vehicle despite no towing from the vehicle??? Immediately this sparks red flags in my mind as a "quirk" or money seeking deal from the local cops...
Does anyone know if it is required to have a triangle on the front and rear bumper in SA if it is a foreign vehicle despite no towing?
Any comments appreciated as I personally call bull#### because that means all vehicles in SA should apply the same modus operandi?
Cheers

Re: Help needed - triangle on car
No triangle needed, only if towing, what is needed is the BW sticker on the back, same as the ZA one we use.

Re: Help needed - triangle on car
The yellow on blue triangle is only a requisite if towing in Mozambique.
No towing related sticker needed in SA. Those provincial cops in that part of the world are renowned for being scamsters.
