South Australia Introduces Ultra High-Powered Vehicle License

South Australia has introduced the UHPV (Ultra High-Powered Vehicle) License, mandating special training for drivers of high-performance cars like Lamborghini and other supercars. Failure to obtain the U Class license by December 1, 2024, can result in fines up to AU$2,500 ($1,684) and one year in jail, with penalties for disabling driver aids. The online course costs AU$61 ($41) and includes learning about risks, safety aids, and proper operation of UHPVs. Meanwhile, South Africa faces delays in launching new 'smart' driving license cards amid ministerial changes, with concerns about confusion and policy implications under new Transport Minister Barbara Creecy's leadership.
