Under the new system, whenever a traffic offence is recorded—whether by speed cameras, red-light cameras, mobile enforcement teams or other approved monitoring tools—the registered vehicle owner receives an SMS notice within minutes containing the following details: offence type, date, time, location, fine amount, infraction code and a unique reference number.
