In South Africa, adhering to traffic laws and regulations is crucial to maintaining a safe and orderly society. When individuals commit traffic offences, they are often issued fines as a means of enforcing compliance. However, the consequences of not paying your fines can lead you into deeper financial and legal troubles.

Unpaid fines may get transferred to debt collection agencies, resulting in additional fees.
Arrest Warrants and Detainment
Authorities may track you down and detain you until the fine is paid or a court appearance is scheduled.
Licence Suspension and Vehicle Impoundment
Failing to pay can lead to license suspension and vehicle impoundment, with additional fees.
Credit Score Impact
