Help needed - triangle on car

Post by Stuart Baak »

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

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

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.
