The new director of the government transport coordinating agency, Intrant, engineer Claudia Franchesca de los Santos alerted the public during an interview with Huchi Lora on Channel 11 TV, that everyone who has an outstanding traffic fine will need to pay it to get their driver’s license renewed. The system is also expected to tie in with other essential documents to ensure that fines are paid promptly.
De los Santos said the old fines will not expire. As has been reported, the government is working on a new system to make it easier for traffic violators to pay the fines online, using computers or smart phones.
De los Santos also said the new regulations include the possibility of fines for pedestrians who board vehicles in places other than in pre-established stops. She said everyone will be given a 2-3 month window to become familiar with the new regulations in Traffic Law 63-17.
