Gauteng motorists not registered for e-tolls should pay their e-toll bills as soon as possible to avoid being charged more, the SA National Roads Agency Limited (Sanral) said on Sunday.<\/p>\n
“…When you do not have an e-tag… and if you do not pay within the stipulated seven days, there is an additional cost, which could be three times the standard tariff, incurred,” spokesman Vusi Mona said in a statement.<\/p>\n
Motorists who did not pay within the seven day grace period, from the date of first gantry pass, would qualify for a 60% discount on the invoice amount if they paid within 30 days of the invoice date.<\/p>\n
Mona said that the e-toll system was lawful, and that the toll collection process had three phases.<\/p>\n
First was the seven day grace period, followed by Violations Processing Centre’s debt collection process and lastly prosecution as per the Criminal Procedure Act.<\/p>\n
The prosecution phase would begin when the motorist was uncooperative following a final letter of demand from Sanral.<\/p>\n
Mona reiterated that motorists with e-tags would get discounted rates and benefit from the monthly cap on e-toll fees.<\/p>\n
He said that people and organisations who discouraged the public from registering for e-tolls should take responsibility.<\/p>\n
