[Duane 3NE 2NR]

The Legislative Amendments to the Motor Vehicle and Road Traffic Act will introduce a system whereby ticketed offenders are given the opportunity to file a Notice to contest the ticket.

interesting.....

Good plan!!

But without a non-corrupt LO, proper database of who owns what car & a way of revoking a drivers licence that actually works it cant work.

supply the officers with a 'linx' machine....with a lower penalty if person pays one time....

[Allergic2BunnyEars]

I wonder if this ties in with supposed speed cameras and traffic light cameras.

People will speed even more knowing it's easy to pay and get away.

in my opinion lowering the fine if paid on spot isnt a good idea.

its Not easy to pay Duane.. the method of payment will be easier.....but the fine will still be the same..

$1500 paid via linx on spot when your ticket is handed to you is the same $1500 to be paid at the relevant court office.

and no they not getting away....

the good thing that can be said about this is....you speed...get caught....pay the $1500 fine up front....go you merry way....get caught speeding again next 15 mins......another ticket another $1500 to be paid now via new linx method ....or later via the regular method.

Nah....
Them too busy solving crime, finding murderers and rapists and drug lords.
Them eh need to face no repurcussions for wasting time. [/sarcasm]

[vaiostation]

^^^So if you do get a ticket and you decide to contest it, however the police officer doesn't show up for court, what happens then?
Does it get thrown out, since the burden of proof is on the state?

[redmanjp]

Ent dat in your favour? As in the case getting thrown out?

[Keyser Soze]

So the police officer is responsible for filing the Notice to Contest and if not filed the driver has to pay the ticket in full or in default risk other penalities?
They left that responsibility up to the police???

looks like plenty thought went into this...

yes or no

So I got a speeding ticket and forgot to pay within the stipulated 14 days in fine print, I honestly didn’t know I had 14 days to pay. I plan to go on Monday. Is there any consequences for late payment?

That not going on already? But without the linx machine?

You would be surprised at how much this sheit causes accidents

[sMASH]

this was circulated before, with many other proposed changes to the system. what this one didnt say is that if u do contest the ticket and loss ur side, u have to pay a higher fine than the original ticket. in other words, pay more money for wasting the judge time.


i would also like that the situation of if mr ocifer doesnt show up, to be clarified.

[air wick]

Paid the ticket today, it took approximately 2hrs to do so.
14 days from the date of issue is not correct. There is a sign by the cashier that states tickets can be paid up to 10am on the court date or adjourned court date.

Where?

[zorced]

Was it by the Caroni bridge? They set up 50kmph traps regularly since March. Made probably a hundred grand a week with the amount of drivers you notice held.

[Redman]

Co.worker got $1000 ticket for 105 kph.

He blue
