Sign up with GoogleAARTO demerit system
The Johannesburg metro police will embark on a pilot project of the Administrative Adjudication of Road Traffic Offences (AARTO) in November 2008.
AARTO is a points system that uses the electronic National Traffic Information System (eNatis) to award and punish motorists for their road behaviour. In the past, all traffic offences were administered through the Criminal Procedure Act, which did not prioritise traffic violations.
The purpose of AARTO is to promote safety and discipline in road users.
The first pilot project for the demerit system in the country was launched in Tshwane in July 2008. It will be rolled out nationally in 2009.
For more information, visit the AARTO website.
Do you think this will make any difference to the chaos on our roads?
There are so many offences....like using your hooter illegally.....or not using your indicator......or driving with no number plates. IMHO, if you don't have number plates on your car, you either drive a lot faster than you're supposed to, or you drive recklessly..........oh yes, and you're scared of fines
Has anyone ever received a fine for such offences? The full traffic fine charge sheet can be found here:
