Traffic fines in S.A. Do you pay your fines or ignore it until it is too late.?

Question

I pay the fine, because I would not like to be thrown in jail.

Answer 1

I pay immediately. I don't think it is worth the risk and as you say, be taken in custody or having to pay at the road blocks. Pay if you were wrong, it is really that easy.

Answer 2

I never get mine i only see on payfines.co.za and i wont pay it because i havent received it at there is no picture on the website so how will i know if it was really me

Answer 3

I pay them,  it is a lot less trouble than waiting for a summons.

Answer 4

Well sometimes we dont have a choice....apparently they wanted 2 take my dad 2 court for a fine he never received =P

Answer 5

It is wise to pay the fines as soon as possible, with the new arto system you will pay double the amount of the original fine if you don't pay within 30 days

Answer 6

I pay before I get the fine !LOL! Tshotsho !

Answer 7

I dont get too many , but yes i also pay them.

I use this site :http://www.viewfines.co.za/

They usually have the pics available and you dont have to check all the time , you receive an e-mail with the details if you receive a fine , I usually pay my fines at the Pick n Pay or Checkers , The site also sends you an e-mail to confirm that your payment has went trrough.

It works quite well , no problems so far.

Answer 8

We deal with fines on a daily basis - in fact, its our biggest problem!  People have been thrown in jail for not paying, so its not worth leaving problems as they will compound
