1. We refer to GMT Circular U2 20/2008, dated 27 October 2008, which indicates that Government Motor Transport is in the process of obtaining comprehensive details of drivers of government-owned vehicles. This is for the purpose of issuing GG vehicles, redirecting traffic offence notifications and establishing a driver database on Fleetman.
2. The electronic Fleetman system will not allow transport officers to issue vehicles to drivers if they are not registered on the system.
3. The new Administrative Adjudication of Road Traffic Offences Act places a responsibility on vehicle fleet operators to acquire accurate information on drivers, particularly with regards to the implementation of the new de-merit system, which is aimed at drivers who commit traffic offences. The de-merit system will allocate, for example, 10 points to a driver at the beginning of a period and, with every traffic offence, points will be deducted. This can eventually result in a driver's licence being suspended or revoked.
4. Heads of offices and sections are therefore requested to ensure that all officials who use government-owned vehicles complete the attached driver database verification form and send it, together with the documents requested on the form, to the WCED Head Office (For attention: Mr J.G. Heath, Room 609).
5. Only colour photocopies of the identity document and driver's licence, together with proof of home address, are acceptable.
6. The due date for the submission of the driver data base verification forms is 30 November 2011.
7. Officials who fail to submit their forms or who are not registered on Fleetman will not be issued with GG vehicles.
8. For more information, any of the following officials may be contacted:

Mr C. Barron Tel. no. 021 467 2789
Mr J.G. Heath Tel. no. 021 467 2797
Mr M.B. Noboza Tel. no. 021 467 2791
Ms E. Santo Tel. no. 021 467 2339
9. Your co-operation will be much appreciated.
