If you are asked by traffic police to pay a bribe, directly or otherwise, you should refuse and immediately report the official to the relevant police department in the area.
According to Xolani Fihla, spokesman for the Johannesburg Metro Police (JMPD), the vehicles driven by traffic officers are fitted with tamper-proof computers that broadcast their location back to the head office.
The sooner you’re able to report the bribe solicitor, the sooner they can be tracked down and brought to account.
