Motorists with outstanding fines and warrant of arrests travelling between the areas of Majakaneng, Bapong, Brits and Segoelane felt the pinch of law enforcement when the Bapong Weighbridge traffic authorities held Operation Patela.

More than 55 taxi and 8 private vehicles were impounded during the three hours operation, which was a build up to festive season.

North West Traffic Authorities encourages motorists to pay their outstanding fines to avoid inconveniences on the road.

Community Safety and Transport Management MEC Gaoage Molapisi said thousands of rands are expected to be recovered and there would be more operations coming on the roads.

“Most drivers don’t pay their fines to an extent of getting warrant of arrests and those would be inconvenienced because if we find you with a warrant of arrest then your trip ends right there. We are not going to allow any motorist to drive on our roads while owing the state for not complying with the road laws,”

“To avoid to be subjected to an inconvenience by being arrested and not reaching your final destination, please go and check yourself and do the right thing, pay your outstanding fine and drive freely,” warned Molapisi.

The departmental MEC further warned those reckless drivers to obey and comply as they will face the full might of the law if found on the wrong side of the law during this festive season.

“This is where the buck stops, we have enough of deaths caused by reckless drivers on our road; we are not going to tolerate heartless people to continue killing our beloved ones on the roads,” he concluded.
