Oct 22, 2025

Starting next year, traffic offenders will get discounts based on how quickly to pay their summonses.

This goes down to 33 percent for those pay their summonses within 16 to 30 days.

Those who take longer than 31 days, will have to pay the full amount.

The Ministry adds that those who fail to settle the compound after 61 days, will be subjected to court proceedings.
