Making a statement at the hearing regarding traffic warnings and fines
Service description
If you are accused of a traffic offence, you will receive a letter giving you the opportunity to respond to the allegation. This hearing gives you the opportunity to:
- to refute the allegation
- to name another person who committed the administrative offence
- to change your personal details, such as your address
You are not obliged to attend the hearing.
If you have committed a minor administrative offence, you may receive a certificate of a warning and a fixed penalty notice along with the letter. If the allegations are correct, please pay the fixed penalty within the specified time limit.
In the case of administrative offences that are not minor, the notices of fines are only sent out after the hearing or once the deadline has passed. You can speed up the process by attending the hearing and confirming that the allegation is justified.
