THE Government is betting on traffic fines to help it finance up to $635 million in spending across the ministries of justice and national security during the upcoming fiscal year.
Motorists have until the end of January 2023 to pay off their outstanding traffic tickets to have demerit points expunged upon the implementation of the new Road Traffic Act.
