KZN motorist issued with first Aarto charge Mariannhill Toll Plaza

The MEC for Transport and Human Settlements, Siboniso Duma, alongside officials from the Department of Transport, the Road Traffic Inspectorate (RTI), SAPS and metro police launched the second phase of the Administrative Adjudication of Road Traffic Offences (Aarto) system at the Mariannhill Toll Plaza on Tuesday.

The #NenzaniLaEzweni Digital Gadgets was the highlight of the day, as these advanced tools facilitated the live issuance of traffic fines.

Officials handed the first notice in KwaZulu-Natal to a motorist, pictured in a black jacket, who had two outstanding speeding fines totaling R2,000.

He had to pay the penalty immediately.

The digital gadgets link to the Natis System and can detect offences a motorist committed anywhere in South Africa.

Between 8am and 9am, 356 vehicles were stopped, 3 Aarto charges were issued, and 54 speeding fines totaling R23,300 were paid.
