There are at least 26 traffic violations that will cost the transgressor R1,000 or more.

At least 26 traffic violations are relevant to the average motorist while driving, and if you are caught by the traffic authorities in South Africa, you will be fined R1,000 or more.

A Section 341 notice is sent to a motorist by post for violations caught on traffic cameras or for traffic tickets issued in the absence of the motorists . It does not have a court date on it but is a first notice before summons. The Traffic Department will issue a second notice before actually issuing the summons.

However, some have agreed that it will not change motorists’ behaviour and is just another revenue-making scheme. More broadly, throughout the 2024 Easter weekend, the Road Traffic Management Corporation performed more than 75,000 stops for vehicles travelling along the N1, N3, and N4 and subsequently issued 916,927 fines for various infringements including driving without a licence, drunk driving, driving while overloaded with goods or passengers, and providing false documents.
