Motorists have received a reprieve after the High Court temporarily suspended the implementation of NTSA's smart driving licence and automated traffic fines system.

Justice Dennis Kizito issued conservatory orders halting the implementation of a public-private partnership between the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) and Pesa Print Limited pending the hearing and determination of a petition challenging the project.
