Sixteen motorists who had failed to pay their traffic fines as well as disrespected the courts for not contesting their fines were detained. Fortunately for them, they decided to settle on the spot an amount owed totalling R13,200.

Fifty other motorists, on being made aware of their outstanding traffic fines, made a sensible decision to pay immediately on the spot to avert a situation of having to contend with a warrant – they parted with a total amount of R22,000.

Over and above, thirteen fines were issued for various other offences.

Once again, motorists are urged to regularly check their status regarding traffic fines to avoid inconvenience and a situation where they have to part with huge unbudgeted amounts or face jail time.
