Why Must A Company Pay Their Fines?
There are various consequences for not paying your fleet traffic fines:
- If you are the proxy for the business, your Identity Document (ID) or Business Registration Number (BRN) could be subjected to an Admin Block in the eNaTiS (Electronic National Traffic Information System). This can cause unnecessary stress and is difficult to clear and resolve.
- You will need to pay additional penalties
- You will not be able to renew your car licence(s)
- You will not be able to register or sell a vehicle
- Insurance claims could be repudiated
- If you are stopped in a road block then you can be arrested if warrants or enforcement orders have been issued
The Ins And Outs Of Fleet Management
The Proxy
The proxy is ultimately the responsible person for any outstanding traffic fines on behalf of the company and is held personally liable. The onus is therefore on this person within the company to make sure that any traffic fines are settled timeously or they may be faced with an Admin Block against their name or potentially arrest, imprisonment and / or a court appearance.
Responsibility: The Driver VS The Proxy
Fines SA does not recommend the redirection of company traffic fines into a driver’s name. The tried and tested approach for fleets is for the company to pay traffic fines promptly and then recover the outstanding amounts directly from drivers. This method ensures that the proxy is protected — they have certainty that the fine has been paid and a receipt number to prove it — and it encourages drivers to become more responsible and avoid traffic infringements.
The Process
In South Africa, there are two distinct fine systems: the CPA system and the AARTO system. When signing up with Fines SA, it’s essential for the proxy to have all ID numbers linked to the company and the Business Registration Number/s (BRNC) at hand. This ensures comprehensive coverage of fines from both systems.
BRNC:Â The Business Registration Number Certificate is the document that the company receives from the licensing department once the company details have been entered into the eNATIS system. This is an important number as the AARTO system currently allocates fines to the BRN. It is also referred to as the identification number on the registration certificate.
IDENTITY DOCUMENT:Â The proxy’s identity document is necessary for capturing fines associated with the CPA system.
By providing both numbers during registration, fines from both systems can be effectively managed.
