AARTO 33 - Notice of Summons to be issued ?
- Thread starter p1ay3r
- Start date
I am not even going to comment here, as it will cause an argument again about the legality of the summons, the fact that if you ignore it, it will go away... bla, bla, bla...
All these things have been asked and answered in the YOU v/s LAW thread.

Good luck.

I'll be surprised if you actually receive the summons. I have two of these but never got the summons. Couple of mates of mine, same story. In fact I dont know of anyone who has actually had a summons served on them recently. Maybe someone on here has,pls correct me if I'm wrong.

I said I wasn't going to comment... but clearly this is going to go the same route as in the YOU v/s LAW thread... :facepalm:
The notice you recieve in the mail is just that... a notice... to the fact that you were cought driving to fast, and that a summons is on route to you!
After that, you will either recieve a post office slip to go and sign for something at the post office, and this will be the summons sent via registered mail, OR you might get surprised one day in a roadblock, and arrested for not complying with the summons.
The reason for the arrest in the roadblock goes as follows...
By law you HAVE to keep your adress details up to date at all times. So your place of residence is taken as if the summons has been delivered to you!! So not going to the post office to sign, or simply ignoring the notices, will only land you in trouble!!
TRUST me on this fact!!
The BEST you can do, and ask some of the forum members on here that has indeed followed my advice... is to GO AND SORT IT OUT THE RIGHT WAY!!
Go and write a letter of representation to explain your case!! Go and speak to a prosecutor BEFORE the trail date!! This way, an amount can be implimented, and you can pay the fine!!
Now... I REALLY hope this advice is taken, and PLEASE don't listen to ANYONE telling you to ignore it!!! :thumbdo:
Good luck!

Francois, with AARTO it has changed slightly. The Sheriff will rock up at your house one day and start attaching your valuables, like your flat screen tv, iPad, lawnmower, fridge and freezer... Get my drift. They will then sell these items on auction to recoup their costs, legal fees and the actual fine with interest et all.
Only if you are accused of negligent and/or reckless driving will you be subjected to the criminal law.
What do you say Cois?

Morne, that might very well be true!!
The fact is like I said... your adress is taken almost as if it is you, and thus it is excepted that the notice was delivered and recieved, and thus judgements can be issued accordingly, like the repo order you are refering to.
Here is the link to AARTO: http://www.aarto.gov.za/
I suggest EVERYONE takes the time and reads through all the info there, as it will answer allot of questions. :thumbs:

I agree, I am not saying ignore it, but you can only do this once you have received your SUMMONS. Until you have a court date you can stand on your head at any cop shop or court, there's nothing you can do until you are actually SUMMONSED (?). Trust me, I've tried. What I am saying is that correct address or not, I dont know of anyone that has actually got their SUMMONS, not a warning letter.Please prove me wrong, has anyone recieved an actual SUMMONS following one of these warning letters?

Things have obviously changed I lived in knysna for many years and still go back a couple of times a year.
There are 2 fixed cameras on kaaimans, they sometimes trap at the dip behind a sign also they sit where you can park and go on the walkway under the bridge and trap you from behind.
They trap fairly frequently between george and mossel bay these days and like i said they sit between the bushes.
George is probably one of my least favorite place to drive with its 4 million 4-way stops.

I did the same thing with the very same prosecutor at the very same court with the very same outcome... I was told to sit tight until the official summons is received, which according to him could take over a year... what a process, I was there admitting guilt and offering to pay, but they would rather waste time and admin for setting up a court date only then allowing you to come in before the date and settle the fine. :facepalm:
