Today's DR1 news has an article about the process for driver's to pay the fines they may receive from Amet from time to time.

Three freaking lines totaling potentially several hours each, two of the necessary lineups are at Amet itself - just to pay a traffic ticket? Are you kidding me? I cannot understand the mentality that allows a process to be created that is so burdensome that the payment process itself actually discourages people from complying.
This bureaucratic obsession with complexity is evident in many processes here in this country from getting a driver's license to applying for residency. But hours later and three distinct stops just to pay a traffic fine? Someone (probably a whole lot of somebodies) needs to be fired and replaced with a modicum of common sense.
The process should be:
Take the ticket to the bank, pay it, and you're done. Amet should receive electronic notification that payment has been made and with a few clicks on a keyboard, the receipt # is matched with the ticket #. The Govt. is happy, the system is happy and the driver is happy that the matter is closed.
No wonder "they" can't afford to enforce the driving laws. What should be a self funding and self sustaining system is hobbled from the get-go.
Truly, stupid is as stupid does.
