Now that you are fully informed of the importance of keeping track of your traffic infractions let's turn to how exactly you can access these violations for fleet managers and everyday motorists.

Contacting insurance companies and local traffic departments: Instead of getting frustrated while searching through all corners of Google, you can communicate with the correct individuals. Some insurance companies may keep records of traffic violations, which could inform future premiums. Reaching out to your local traffic department might also help.
Fleet management software: At Cartrack, you can use our fleet management platform admin solutions to record and keep up with unpaid fines. This solution will provide automated reminders for your fine payment dates. Thanks to these reminders, you won’t have to search the internet and contact multiple organisations to retrieve this crucial information.

If you'd like to avoid traffic infractions, our driver monitoring tools are for you. Let's take a tour!
Driver monitoring tools are part of a vehicle safety system, which all work in various ways to help private or fleet drivers avoid accidents and driver offences. These systems can analyse drivers behind the wheels through cameras, sensors and algorithms. These analyses can include reducing distracted driving, picking up on a fatigued driver, and more.
Learn about all these driving monitoring tools below.
ADAS uses various software and methods to implement the above intentions, including sensors, cameras, and driver assistance features. These features include forward collision warning, blind spot detection, and automatic emergency braking.
These are conveyed via audible and visual alerts to keep drivers consistently aware of possible harsh driving behaviours and events, leading to timely action. This solution is the perfect tool for a fleet manager. It reduces the possibility of traffic violations in real-time and allows for coaching drivers by keeping track of repeated harsh behaviour. By gaining awareness of how individual drivers get into these sticky ticket situations, you can effectively train them according to their oversights to avoid those nasty demerits.
These real-time alerts ensure that they remain aware while driving and can take instant action to prevent harsh behaviours or events. As a car owner, you can also use these tools to stay alert, learn about your harsh behaviours, and analyse your behaviour after the fact using the interpreted behaviours.

Q: How do you appeal a parking ticket in Singapore?
You can submit an appeal on the OneMotoring website or the Singapore Police Force’s (SPF) e-services webpage.
To apply on the OneMotoring website, you must submit your appellant details, documented proof, and your vehicle or notice number. Lastly, the website notes that you must attend court while waiting for your appeal and emphasises that most appeals are rejected.
SPF’s process is as follows:
Both websites emphasise that documented evidence must accompany the appeal; otherwise, it will be null and void, and new evidence must be presented for repeated appeals to be considered. The SPF stresses that only appeals regarding extenuating circumstances will be considered.
Q: Can you pay traffic fines in instalments?
A: While traffic fines are usually paid in full, you can negotiate for installations. To do this, you must contact the enforcement agency.
Q: Where do Singapore fines go?
A: Singapore fines fund road safety improvement through law enforcement initiatives, infrastructure development, and road safety campaigns.
Q: What is the process of attending court for traffic violations in Singapore?
A: Singapore Courts explains that you will either attend Traffic Court or Night Court, where you will be formally charged in court and can claim guilty or innocent. Attendance is mandatory, and depending on the transgression, you may have to do so more than once. The SG court goes on to say that you may have a warrant of arrest if you fail to attend court.
That said, if you are sick on the said day, you must provide a legitimate medical certificate (MC). If you are attending on behalf of an organisation, you need to supply the court with an utterly valid letter of authorisation.
