A car from work?

You are exposed to a "report sting" of thousands of shekels

Behind every automatic report you receive due to a traffic offense or parking with a vehicle is a company with an almost automatic system that will do everything to make you pay for it - even if you did not do it at all.

Traffic reports (from the police) and municipal inspection reports are part of the lives of most drivers. If you have not yet received a report then you will receive, it is only a matter of time. Parking, speeding, driving on public transport, and more. If we list any offense then it is worth noting that it could have been avoided, whether by driving lawfully or by complying with municipal regulations. Do not be confused for a moment, the police and the municipalities have no desire for you to stop committing traffic offenses. The reports you receive and pay are a huge source of income for the state and municipalities.

When you commit a "crediting" offense in the report, the supervising body contacts the licensing office to obtain the vehicle owner's details according to the license number, and the report is generated in fully automatic systems and sent to you via Israel Post. Note two main components - ) And the Israel Post.

When a report reaches the vehicle owner he can decide to pay it (legally it means he pleads guilty), appeal it to the report producer, ask to convert it with a warning (depending on the type of offense and the driver's traffic history), ask to be tried and also ask to convert the report on There is another driver.

The Israel Police website clearly lists all the options available to a driver who receives a police report, I recommend going to the website and reading.

Gather here for the benefit of the last section - converting the reports.

When you want to convert the report in the name of another driver, you are required to provide the police with accurate details about the same driver who you claim was driving the vehicle with his statement regarding the correctness of the details.

When a vehicle is registered in the name of a company or leasing / rental company, the legislature has imposed a sanction aimed at encouraging the corporation to convert the report in the driver's name. This is to avoid a situation where under the auspices of "anonymous" vehicle registration Or accumulation of points. How does the sanction work? When the report is not filed in the name of a particular driver, the fine the company receives is four times the original fine, so if the offense the driver committed carries with it a fine of NIS 1,500 the corporation will receive the report with a fine of NIS 6,000.

Vehicle fleets and leasing companies have hundreds of thousands of cars, some of which also go through offenses (see first paragraph).

When you receive an attached vehicle from the employer, you sign a set of documents, including a letter authorizing the corporation to convert the report in your name without consulting you.

You received a car - your responsibility.

The corporation or leasing company is not really interested in who drove the vehicle and when, and operates on an "automatic".

Here we come to point you to a set of failures that as drivers you must be aware of and test them.

First, you received a report in your name - check the report carefully. Whether you own the vehicle or the company / leasing vehicle, the automatic systems that read license numbers have faults. For example - the number 0 with a screw in the middle may be translated to 8. And there is more Much like in the link where when the corporation or leasing company receives the report, the conversion in the name of the driver is done manually. Where there are people there are mistakes, and a typing error or a simple reading error or reading the number on the phone can bring to your home a report for a vehicle different from your vehicle.

Moreover, the leasing company took your vehicle for treatment, and a driver of the leasing company committed an offense, the report will reach you at home. Some companies conduct detailed and accurate surveillance of collection and return of vehicles from customers, and some less so. Even if the offense was committed by a driver of the corporation or leasing company. If you do not have documentation (preferably physical, Excel documents are very easy to change and edit ...) that the vehicle was taken for treatment that day, or a way to reasonably prove that the vehicle was not in your possession in trouble.

Remember I registered that the report would reach you via Israel Post? So do not be surprised if you suddenly receive a report that you did not know existed or the existence of the offense, with double fines, arrears and warnings before foreclosures. Not all reports reach drivers on time, even if the police produced them on time. Significant failure point in the process.So

what to do if you have received a report converted in your name:

1. Check the report carefully. Almost all of the offenses today are filmed. Ask to see a picture of your vehicle committing the offense, and check that the license number does indeed match the license number of the vehicle in your possession.

2. If you drive a company / leasing vehicle - make an accurate and detailed documentation for each trip in the vehicle that you did not make.

When was your vehicle taken for treatment at the exact date and time level, and when was it returned to you.

This will help you prove that another driver committed an offense in your vehicle.

Ask for physical documentation to be registered with the safety officer or leasing company signed by the service personnel who collected and returned the car.

3. If you received a mediation / replacement vehicle - make accurate documentation as stated in section 2.

4. If a report that comes to you for the first time already includes a double fine and arrears - contact the National Driver Inquiry Center - MFA 'and request a return of the report to the original amount .

The worst - they will refuse you.

Trying does not cost money.

5. If in doubt - consult an attorney whose specialty it is. You are allowed to. Then you will make a decision on how to act.

6. Drive legally!
