There will be another Traffic Fine Roadshow in Cape Town this month, and this time, the taxi goes to Parow. The City says motorists will get another opportunity to pay outstanding fines and settle warrants, from 14 to 19 March, in the Northern suburbs.

Another Traffic Fine Roadshow in Cape Town

The popular traffic fine roadshows have in the past seen long queues as people came to settle their accounts. The Mayoral Committee Member for Safety and Security, Alderman JP Smith says their traffic fine roadshows are not only an opportunity to pay fines, but also to increase awareness on road and traffic safety and to remind motorists to drive responsibly and to adhere to road and traffic safety regulations.

Smith says the City’s Traffic Service, together with Municipal Courts, Revenue Services, and other key departments, take part in the hosting of the annual public roadshow at the Parow Civic Centre. Centre is located at the corner of Voortrekker and Talent Streets, in Parow.

Smith added, “This is another opportunity for motorists and vehicle owners to check if they have any outstanding warrants or fines.”

The clients can also make payment arrangements if they have arrears on their respective municipal accounts. The client must have copies of their IDs, driver’s licence, proof of income, affidavits if they don’t have bank accounts and consent letters if they are not the owners of the property they are residing at.

Please note that redirections of traffic fines, no admission of guilt fines (NAG fines) and reducing a fine that has already been reduced will not be entertained at the Roadshow.

In addition, contempt of court amounts (Warrant amount of R300/R600) cannot be reduced by a prosecutor.

• Their Identity Document (ID)
• A copy of the ID of the person they are representing

He concluded, “Motorists are invited to visit the roadshow ahead of the long weekend and ensure that there are no outstanding fines or warrants on their name.”
