The City of Cape Town’s Traffic services is offering drivers another opportunity to be “fine free” with the popular roadshow returning next week.
During the last instalment in December, over 2 000 people were helped to finalise nearly 17 000 fines and over 5 000 warrants. The total payments, after representations, amounted to just over R4.6 million.
The roadshow will take place at the Cape Town Civic Centre from Monday March 25 until Wednesday March 27 from 8.30am daily.
Mayoral committee member for safety and security, JP Smith said the City has been meeting the motoring public halfway and encouraged those with outstanding fines and warrants to exploit the latest opportunity.
“It’s a good faith gesture as we head into the busy Easter weekend, and a reminder that there will be increased roadblocks and operations to trace scofflaws. So do the right thing and settle any overdue fines or warrants, either by visiting the roadshow or using the existing channels available.”
The alternative is to risk time behind bars should you be caught at a roadblock or vehicle checkpoint, or worse … tracked down by their tracing teams, said Mr Smith
The following services will be available:
· All fine-related enquiries for vehicles registered in their name
· Applying for a reduction on traffic fines issued within the City’s municipal boundaries
· Paying outstanding fines
· Enquiring about warrants and summons issued in their name and finalising these
· Removing administration marks against their name on the Natis system.
