New laws in Cape Town let the city impound your car for breaking these rules

• The City of Cape Town can now impound your car for breaking certain traffic rules, including reckless driving, illegal street racing, and driving without a valid license.
• The amended by-law has been in the works for three years and is aimed at addressing the continued lawlessness on Cape Town's roads, with nearly 4 million traffic offences recorded over a 12-month period.
• The implementation of the new by-law is expected to be finalized soon, with the City's Traffic Management working to finalize the logistics for practical implementation.
