Contesting the Citation Notice for Red-Light Violations


Just like the fixed penalty system, the owner of the motor vehicle has an opportunity to file a notice to contest via the following link https://contest.ttlawcourts.org.

There are only two (2) instances where persons are permitted to contest the citation notice –
The motor vehicle was stolen, or The recipient of the Citation Notice is no longer the owner of the vehicle having duly registered a change of possession of the motor vehicle.

Once the notice to contest is filed within thirty (30) days of the citation notice, the information is electronically transmitted via U-TURN System to the Traffic Enforcement Centre and the process will be initiated for a court hearing at the Magistrates’ Court.

The Traffic Enforcement Centre will transmit to the Court an electronic case file, which shall include a copy of the citation notice, the record of the notice to contest, a photograph and video recording of the vehicle in breach and proof of delivery of the citation notice. Once the Court completes its process of determining the matter, the result will be transmitted to the Traffic Enforcement Centre via the U-Turn system so that the records of the registered owner can be updated at the Licensing Division.
