Big Fines Coming If You Don’t Pay E-tolls

This, when the new Aarto Law comes into operation on the 1 July 2021, is going to create massive problems for motorists.
Motorists who refuse to pay e-tolls won’t be able to renew their driver’s or vehicle licences if proposed amendments to the Administrative Adjudication of Road Traffic Offences Act (AARTO) come into effect.
The recently gazetted regulations have stuck to an earlier draft version of the new traffic laws, which state that motorists will be slapped with a R500 fine for each e-toll fee they do not pay.
This is in addition to a R100 Infringement Penalty payable on every traffic violation committed.
This will punish a motorist who does not pay e-toll fees with fines of R4,000 and levies of R800 for a single return trip between Pretoria and Sandton.
According to Rapport, the latest regulations will also block the eNATIS accounts of motorists who ignore these fines and levies.
This means they will not be able to renew their driver’s or vehicle licences, register a purchased vehicle, or deregister a sold vehicle.
