Fines SA warns about confusion over AARTO

Fines SA has urged South African motorists to be more proactive with traffic fine management ahead of the national rollout of the Administrative Adjudication of Road Traffic Offences (AARTO) system.

The AARTO system will begin a phased rollout from 1 July 2026, starting with 62 municipalities. Between October and December 2026, it will be expanded to the remaining 151 municipalities.

"AARTO changes traffic fines from being a once-off payment issue into something that can affect a person’s ability to drive,” Berman said."

Lol no there will be once-off payments. Either bribes upfront or on a higher level to remove points or "restore" suspended licenses... that is not going away ever...

Sure it will.
