VerifiedHi there and thank you for your question,
Please note that this is a question / answer website where we can assist you with legal questions. We can't represent you directly and we are not an ombudsman or such like. I am a practicing attorney based in South Africa and I will try to assist you with your legal question but please feel free to ask as many follow up questions in order to clarify your question.
If you are interested in a phone call to chat about your legal question (there is a further cost ...) please click “Accept” when prompted. Otherwise, I can continue assisting you through this chat function.
Unfortunately, no. The AR which you gave at the time of the accident is now the official statement of the accident and you can't just get it thrown out and then submit another AR.
If you lied on the AR, you will need to contact SAPS and explain the situation. They will then ask you to make a statement recording the "truth" as you say now.
It will then be up to SAPS, or your insurance company, to choose what to believe because unfortunately they now have 2 different versions of the "truth" and they won't know what to believe. This will cause massive issues if SAPS wants to prosecute one driver for negligence, or if you want to put in an insurance claim.
What was the lie on the AR?
