[@brydonvermaak8711]

Nope, get taxis to drive like normal, fix potholes, streetlights and fine taxis like the rest of us. Go steal somewhere else.

[@jacklenge531]

Thank you very much i paid twice they did block my driver licence

[@Westcoaster54]

Appearance time, you can not be forced to plead guilty and pay a fine if you have not been given the opportunity to defend yourself. So in my eyes, the traffic departments are acting as mafias, demanding payment and ingoring the process of the legal system.

HOLLY SHIT THAT HUMAN WEIGHT WTF

[@Beautiful01x]

Kfc is finger looking goooood😅

[@Westcoaster54]

Where in the law does it give any municipality the authority to withhold issuing of your vehicle or driving licence because of outstanding fines? When you receive a summons to appear in court, you have the right to appear on that date to defend your alleged actions. If the court postpones that date for whatever reason and your drivers or vehicle license expires within that court app

They didn't allow me to leave before paying at the paypoint after asking if I could just do it on my phone without having to stand in the queue.

Revenue creation and collection that's all it simply is and a load of BS

[@BrotherM1978]

I wonder if these include those wih warranta of arrest 🤔

[@ntselelentse9962]

Mu brother,remember jmpd is now using a new system called AARTO instead of your normal section 56 ( written notice to appear in court), with aarto with every traffic fine (and unpaid fines) you get,you will accumulate demerit points which will lead to the suspension or cancelation of your driving license. Remember not all municipalities are using aarto,eg EMPD and other municipalities, so you will definitely be arrested in those municipalities if you there is a warrant of arrest due to unpaid or uncontested fines
