Question:
“Hi there
I would appreciate it if you can send me details on fine prices like for not wearing seatbelt, talking on a cellphone, not stopping completely dead at a stop sign as i see that you have different prices listed as what the traffic officers are giving… I’m from mpumalanga.”
Answer:
We list all of the AARTO infringement fines at www.aarto.co.za/chargecodes-list.asp but I point out that these are the current fines applicable to AARTO ONLY and they are apparently being reviewed ahead of the publication of the 2011 regulations which will replace them.
The fact is that fines that are not issued under AARTO are set by local Magistrates and there are 281 municipalities that are not involved in AARTO.
If you want to know about any fines that exist under your name, unfortunately you are going to have to phone the traffic authorities in all of the areas you have driven and get them to refer you to their contracted websites or provide you with a pint out as there is currently no single point of reference.
