How can you lose your driver’s license by walking your dog on the beach?

More than 75000 people were striped of their driver’s license in 1999 for failing to pay fines for minor offences

Most of the cancellations are understood to have been the result of unpaid traffic and parking fines.

But unpaid local government imposed fines such as for walking a dog on a beach , fines for none payment of schools fees, and penalties for not voting can also result in the loose of the driver’s license.

The road and traffic authorities has its own system for handling traffic fines, however if fines remain unpaid after its sanction then the matter is handed to the State Debt Recovery Office (SDRO) as well.

If a fine is not paid or arrangements to pay off the debits not maid the SDRO will begin steps such as license or vehicle registration sanction with other $40 enforcement fee added.

Once an outstanding fine or penalty is paid license and registration can be reinstate within 24 Hrs.
