Well if the governing bodies show commitment and pay their accounts such as electricity bills and water, then country's drivers would start to pay traffic fines! We are all just fed-up with this counrty's governace not paying and even worst not performing.

Speak for yourself. If they want my money, at least send someone to me to deliver the fine where I did 101 in an 80 zone in Cape Town just past the M5 interchange :ROFL:

Oh, don't forget to include the photo. Don't tell me that I can contact the department for that.
 
Oh bless the traffic dept for the comfort they provide in these difficult times. I feel so safe knowing people are fined. The fines will magically fix shiddy infrastructure and shiddy driving behaviour and not get pocketed somewhere in the system.
 
And I get a summons for a GP- register car driving at 120km/hr on a road in Kempton Park in June 2022. I live in CT and don't own a GP car and have never driven on this road and was last in Gauteng in 2006

Photo shows a blue Nissan Atima. Cannot actually see number-plate

All letters and emails to Ekurlini (?) traffic dept ignored

I got a couple a few years back for a white polo doing 180km somewhere upcountry.

All good, except my rather red 1960's spitfire can barely do 120km downhill with the wind behind it.

For obvious reasons I disputed the tickets - one the colour was wrong, so shouldn't have even passed the has to by approved by a human test, and two, the speed far exceeded what a 1960's british engine would do.

You'd think I was claiming that aliens had landed. I had to write a letter explaining that 3 year olds could tell the difference between red and white, the polo wasn't a ****ing convertible, and heres a dated picture with the gearbox out and the car in pieces (as it was at the mechanics at the time) so sort your **** out.

I did get a letter back from the muni saying on further inspection, the tickets would be cancelled.

Never should have been issued in the first place.

Still, its better than CoCT who claim I've changed my details every single year, and refuse to accept money for licences unless I redo the same details again.
Gotten to the point where I send them a photo of a pony*, as they're being unreasonable in their demands, and perhaps they also want a pony too, while they're wishing for ****.


*Absolutely true, and I have the correspondence to prove it.

Oh, and the year they moved all my licences to PE for some reason, and i was "my fault" for selling a car to someone there. Then wouldn't let me put the licences back to the original addresses.
 
South African motorists owe well over R3 billion in outstanding traffic fines across several of the country’s biggest metros and provinces.
Now if those motorists just paid their fines then loadshedding will be a thing of the past.
Oh wait....sh*t....wrong thread...

Got invoice for e-tolls a couple years back.
Same car make and model, but with different number plates.
Couldn't figure how my name was linked to this and just ignored it.
Never heard from them again.
 
Yup, it's well known but some okes are thick as bricks hence a reminder is needed:

Really depends on the type of fine. If it's from a traffic officer hiding behind a bush with a mobile speed camera, sure. If it's a fine for an unroadworthy vehicle, driving under the influence, driving while operating a cellphone, or running a red light or stop street, for example, I would consider it part of road safety.

It's illegal to do all these things?
Where I come from it seems like a sport.
 
Speeding fines = moneymaking racket...has nothing to do with road safety.
Much easier to avoid hitting a cow or an idiot crossing a freeway if you're driving slowly.
Eish... African problems :sneaky:
 
I notice Nelson Mandela Bay has avoided being on the list by not having actually enforced any traffic laws or issued any fines since 2020 when the traffic department went on lockdown and never came back. Can't owe what hasn't been billed.

The local Sheriff (Wynberg South) who I happen to know as my locksmith opens houses for him received the summons instruction and called me saying he got this strange document which was obviously rubbish as he knows I don't own a GP registered old Nissan and have a white Honda CRV

He said he would sit on it for a month or two and send an "unable to process" reply

I presume that is what happened. I still get reminders once every 2 months
