Traffic Fine Risks

Traffic Fine Workshop - 09 July 2025 - Johannesburg

AARTO’s demerit system (expected nationwide by September 2025) closes in—our mission: expose traps, deliver solutions.
 
Forget whatever you knew about traffic fines -

• AARTO introduces a complete revision on Traffic Fines.
• Companies/Owners become responsible for employee behaviour whilst using company vehicles. (Speeding, Reckless Driving, Unroadworthy Vehicles, DUI, etc)
• Companies/Owners will need to start an effective upskilling AARTO awareness program for all employees.
• Traffic fines incurred in private time will have a devastating effect on company operations. (Monitoring private time behaviour?)
• Friendly prosecutors and 3rd party fine service providers are removed from the equation. 

Enforcement Orders (AARTO 13—unlucky for a reason) are live now - preventing driver's and vehicle licence renewals.

The trigger - Simply not paying traffic fines invokes an Enforcement Order. Countless companies and individuals nationwide have been affected.

AARTO a complex system forces companies, directors and individuals to take accountability for their actions. 

• The aim is simple - "Make the offending party guilty for their actions."
• The question must be asked;- who is the offending party? The simple answer - The owner of the vehicle.
• The owner/company/proxy is always responsible for vehicle condition including driver behaviour - "unless show differently".

AARTO, a timelined based system is run on business principles.

• Early payment of fines are discounted.
• Late payment is penalized
• No payment - Vehicle, driver's licence and operator cards cannot be renewed. 
• An enforcement order against any fleet owned vehicle prevents renewal of licences on all others until the enforcement order has been resolved.
• AARTO is currently operational in Johannesburg and Tshwane and soon to be rolled out nationally.
• However, AARTO is effective nationally. Incurring a fine whilst visiting Johannesburg or Tshwane incurs the wrath of AARTO no matter where you stay. 

Therefore - Directors/Owners, you’re accountable for compliance, private or company time. Our workshop’s the key.
