What about PH drivers?

First-time offenders will now pay $12,000 and the fine increases to $22,000 for a second offence.

The fine for speeding has been increased by 50 percent to $6,000 and anyone caught driving without a permit will now pay $15,000, an increase of 1500 percent from the previous fine of $1,000.

This is a welcome sign that will hopefully help to reduce the road carnage.

But what about PH drivers and the imposition of that law as it is also an offence to use one’s private car for hire? I am yet to see any administration with the political will to impose that law. But here in “sweet TT ” the law is the law when it suits us.
