The Land Transport Authority will soon provide an extra service by sending a message to people’s phone about their traffic infringement notice.
LTA’s Chairman Vijay Maharaj says it will be a short message which will tell people that they will have to contact LTA as they have a traffic infringement notice.
He says this will be an additional service apart from sending the infringement notices through post.
Maharaj has also highlighted that people could also register into the LTA system and receive notifications online.
Meanwhile Maharaj says an amendment may be made in the LTA Act whereby the period of 21 days will possibly be extended to 60 days for people to pay their traffic infringement fines.
He says not everybody in Fiji has a postal box while some may not check their postal box frequently which can result in them not getting their traffic infringement notice on time.
He says 60 days time-frame will be a better time period.
