The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) instant fine system that will automatically capture traffic violators and send notifications to motorists via sms has gone live.

In a public notice, NTSA said the system is fully automated and operates without human intervention.

NTSA further said all fines issued through the system can be paid through the branch network of KCB Group within seven days.

Failure to settle fine within seven days results in interest payment. NTSA will also not permit vehicles or drivers with pending fines to access services or transact on their platform until the fine is settled.  

At the same time, the agency has advised motorists to observe all traffic regulations and to respond promptly to any official notifications received.
