How Do I Contest A Fixed Penalty Notice (Traffic Ticket)?

 
If a driver wishes to contest a traffic ticket, he/she may seek the assistance of an Attorney-at-Law. He/she can file a Notice to Contest with the Court within fifteen (15) days from the date of issue of the ticket via the portal.

Instructions on how to contest a traffic ticket are printed on the reverse side of the traffic ticket.

A driver will need the traffic ticket reference number, the vehicle registration number, their Driver’s Permit number and the date of issue of the ticket. He or she may provide reasons for challenging the traffic ticket.

If the driver is found guilty by the Court, this can result in the imposition of the maximum fine under the law.
