Traffic police last year issued 11 million tickets, which was double the number a year earlier, but drivers paid for only 1.3 million tickets, he said. “Also, in the first six months of this year, we’ve already issued seven million tickets, but 5.9 million, or 84%, of them have not been paid,” the national police assistant said. The fresh attempt not to renew yearly vehicle licences to help curb the crimes brings new hope to authorities. If drivers continue to ignore ticket fines, they will not be allowed to renew their car licences. Usually 45% of ticket fines are shared among officers, but this is viewed as marring the image of police agency.
