Road Transport and Safety Agency (RTSA) seeks law to ban the use of second hand tyres

THE Road Transport and Safety Agency (RTSA) has proposed legislation banning the use of second hand tyres.

Addressing the media on Tuesday, RTSA director and Chief Executive Officer Zindaba Soko, said the proposal to have a law banning the use of second hand tyres was a way of improving law enforcement on conditions of motor vehicles.

“In our efforts to attain road safety, we will be improving law enforcement on vehicle conditions; for example, banning the usage of used or retreaded tyres to avert road carnage,” Mr Soko said
