The Director-General of the National Road Safety Authority (NRSA), Abraham Amaliba, stated that vehicles removed from dangerous locations will be subject to auction if owners do not pay the resulting charges. According to Mr Amaliba, the NRSA will remove vehicles that break down in hazardous spots, regardless of whether their owners subscribe to a towing service. Owners will be surcharged for the removal and risk losing their vehicles if they fail to settle the fees after being contacted via the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA). The Authority will use vehicle registration details to trace owners and will initiate the auction process if payment is not received within 21 days. This measure is part of a new road safety policy expected to accompany the Road Traffic (Amendment) Bill, 2025, aimed at addressing hazards posed by broken-down vehicles. The NRSA also plans to launch a mobile application to connect motorists with the nearest available towing companies, similar to ride-hailing services.
