LASTMA, the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, has unveiled a groundbreaking initiative known as the ‘Ticket Alert’ system, designed to inform drivers in Lagos about any outstanding fines they need to settle within a 30-day period.
This new system acts as a crucial reminder for motorists to promptly address any unpaid fines resulting from traffic violations. These violations may include offenses such as driving with expired vehicle licenses, lacking roadworthiness certification, or driving without proper insurance coverage, among others.
In a statement released by LASTMA, it was emphasized that failing to settle these fines within the specified 30-day window could lead to severe consequences, including the impoundment of the vehicle in question.
The introduction of modern technology has significantly enhanced LASTMA’s ability to identify traffic violators, making it increasingly challenging for offenders to evade accountability for their actions.
Under the ‘Ticket Alert’ system, vehicles found to be in violation will be tagged with a distinctive yellow sticker, serving as a visual reminder for the owner to address any outstanding fines within the designated timeframe.
It is crucial for motorists to heed this warning, as neglecting to settle fines within the stipulated period may result in the impoundment of their vehicle.
LASTMA has encouraged motorists to utilize the convenience of the online platform www.paylasg.ng to check for any outstanding fines associated with their vehicle’s plate number and proceed with the payment process.
In emphasizing the significance of the ‘Ticket Alert’ system, LASTMA underscores its role in promoting compliance with traffic regulations and ensuring a safer and more orderly road environment for all commuters.
Ultimately, by promptly addressing outstanding fines, motorists can enjoy a stress-free journey on Lagos roads, free from the risk of vehicle impoundment and other associated penalties.
