AARTO vs Normal Fines
What is the difference
Let's get stuck in
Are you a fleet manager?
If you operate a national or regional fleet-or even a smaller fleet that isn't limited to only Johannesburg and Tshwane-you have to deal with two completely different systems to manage fleet fines.
AARTO
Administrative Adjudication of Road Traffic OffensesCPA
/’normal’ fines Criminal Procedure Act
AARTO Fines
- Active in Johannesburg and Tshwane
- Fines can be sent and received electronically
- Fixed amounts for all infringements across the country
- Central fines management system
- Fines can be allocated to a company instead of to an individual
- Fines can quickly be redirected to specific drivers
- Fleet managers will easily be able to hold individuals accountable for infringements
CPA Traffic Fines
- Active across the rest of South Africa
- Fines sent via registered post
- Every province and municipality can set their own amount within CPA guidelines
- Every province and municipality can insist you must use their specific account details
- No central system. You can check on systems such as Natis, but no guarantee that all fines are listed
- Still requires that one person at a company be the proxy for all fleet fines
- Option to redirect, but paperwork often takes longer than the 30-day window for redirection
- Due to delays and difficulty in redirecting. many fleet managers opt to simply pay fines without redirecting to drivers
