The nationwide rollout of the AARTO Act introduces a driving demerit system to hold road users accountable for traffic violations.
How the AARTO Demerit System Works
Designed to penalise drivers through demerit points that can lead to license suspension or cancellation. Every driver starts with zero demerit points.
Understanding Demerit Points
Points range from 1-6 depending on violation severity. Speeding violations carry different points based on how much over the limit.
Preventing Demerits and Penalties
Adhere to speed limits, stay informed using Fines SA’s platform, comply with all road traffic laws including signals and seatbelts.
The Road Ahead
The demerit system aims to reduce violations, crashes, injuries and fatalities through encouraging compliance.
Trust Fines SA to keep you informed, penalty-free and safe on South Africa’s roads.
