My final questions relate to driver licensing. I have a number of quick questions which I will bundle together. Will there be an extension for those whose licences are expiring in the coming weeks? Will driving licence centres be allowed take appointments for renewals or will they facilitate renewals via the postal system during this period? People have to present in person at the desk which causes many problems for people. What is the position on someone driving with an expired licence while awaiting an appointment in a licensing centre? Is there clarity on that? It would be useful if the Department issued a circular or clarification on that issue.
