Cape Town might take over traffic fines from Aarto, but you'll still get demerit points

Municipalities could avoid losing millions in speeding fines to Aarto — but you will still get demerit points

Municipalities should still be able to collect fines for some traffic violations once the Administrative Adjudication of Road Traffic Offences (Aarto) Act comes into effect.

However, the licence points-demerit system that forms a key part of Aarto will have to apply nationally.

The municipalities of Johannesburg and Tshwane previously lost out on millions in potential revenue over several months due to the expiry of contracts with speed camera service providers.

So this is about lost revenue and not road safety?
