How JPSA will help you handle this.
Combined action means combined power.
JOIN US IN TAKING THE JMPD, RTIA AND RTMC TO COURT .

Our intention is to have all AARTO 03 infringement notices that were sent via standard surface mail cancelled by order of the court since so far we have received no cooperation from the JMPD or the RTMC in this regard, even though they know full well that service by standard surface mail is unlawful.

We are therefore now preparing to take the matter to court. This will arguably be the biggest single judgement against any traffic authority in South African history when we get judgement.

We are fully aware that there are literally thousands of motorists who have received fines for R250, which when discounted by 50% works out to R125. So it seems a little nonsensical to pay a R150 administration fee to JPSA to have a fine of R125 cancelled.

The fees we are levying are for a considerable amount of work and expenses that are incurred by us. It makes no difference to us what the fine amount involved is since the same amount of work goes into dealing with a fine of R4,500 as one for R250.

But because we have received a number of queries from people who have received these fines for R250 (discounted to R125), we have decided to make a concession to people whose fines are for "R125" so as to not leave them out in the cold to deal with the JMPD themselves. We will, in these cases only, charge a lower fee of R100 to deal with fines that are payable at R125. All other fine amounts will be subject to the R150 administration fee. This offer is also only good for fines entered online and we reserve the right to withdraw this offer if we see fit since those paying R150 will effectively be subsidising those who pay R100.

Our methodology with respect to dealing with these unlawfully served notices has been one of using diplomacy to have the notices cancelled instead of having to resort to legal action against the JMPD and the RTMC. This has borne little fruit thus far and we are now about to embark on legal action against them, since they refuse to act lawfully.

For an administration fee (as detailed above) charged per infringement notice you register with us, we will:

• Include your infringement notices in our legal action for the cancellation of these notices.
• On request, we will provide you with a letter confirming that your notice/s are included in our court action and this letter can be presented to traffic officials if they stop you in a roadblock.
• Halt any deductions from your salary if you are an employee who drives a company vehicle by issuing you with a letter to provide to your company.

What about fines that have been paid?

• If the penalty (fine) has been paid, we will be mounting a separate collection action once judgement has been passed.
• Under this action, our attornies will ask you to cede your infringement notices to them and they will demand refund within 32 days of such demand once judgement has been passed.
• If the refund is not forthcoming within that timeframe, they will seek legal remedy by means of a warrant of execution which will then be carried out by the Sherrif.

In order to achieve this, all you need do is:

• Register as a subscribed or non-subscribed (no monthly fees) user
• You will also need to complete, sign and return the special power of attorney form to us if you have not done so already.
• Lodge your infringement notice/s with us online under your profile.
• Pay the administration fee per infringement notice to us.
• Sign and get all of the relevant documentation back to us.
  • The documentation we will require from you is:
    • A copy or your ID - once off.
    • A copy or your driving licence - once off.
    • The signed power of attorney document - once off.
    • A copy of both sides of the infringement notice.
    • A copy of any proof of payment to the JMPD if you have already paid the fine.
    • All of the above are best scanned and emailed to processing@jp-sa.org.
  
  
  
• Please remember always that you cannot be arrested for an outstanding AARTO fine. You have absolutely no need to be worried about being detained in a roadblock on the basis of an outstanding AARTO infringement notice because it does not fall under the Criminal Procedure Act like section 54 summonses do. If you are detained in any way for an outstanding AARTO infringement notice, this will constitute unlawful arrest/detention, for which you will be entitled to sue the traffic authority for civil damages. We will help you with this in the unlikely event that it does happen.

Please note that it is your responsibility to check that your infringement notices are indeed recent AARTO 03 notices issued by the JMPD/TMPD only and meet at least the first point of the following criteria:

• It was sent via standard surface mail - Notices sent via registered mail do not qualify.
• It does not have a date of posting on it
• The fine value has been tripled because it was issued to a juristic person.

If you fail to check these simple details, you will be refunded any administration fees you have paid us, minus a R50 handling fee per non-qualifying infringement notice you send us.

Please check the previous page again if you are not 100% sure that you qualify. Also note that if you expect instant results from coming on board with us, then this action is not for you. We cannot promise instant results and we cannot yet provide you with a court date. What we can promise you is that we will not let this matter go unchecked.
