  1. Good start! Now we want crimes and misdemeanours tackleed next Prime Minister and Police Commissioner Attlee Rodney.

    YOU CAN DO IT!

  2. Good news , don’t make it a one time effort..also IMPOUND THE VEHICLES OF RECKLESS DRIVERS AND CHARGE A VERY HIGH FEE FOR THEIR RELEASE! GOT TO SEND THE MESSAGE LOUD AND CLEAR …LIVES ARE AT RISK !

  3. We the sensible road users don’t want this to be a one off thing Mr. Police commissioner, but a daily feature of the traffic department. Whenever you are at a junction on the red light and it changes to green, you better wait for a few seconds because three, four cars are going to be flying through the red light and you can become collateral damage because of their total lack of road sense. Driving in Antigua is mostly a nightmare in broad daylight, much more at night with some of those Johnny-come-lately-justgetalicence lunatics. Some of them have no business behind a steering wheel. Trying to run you off the road when there’s obstruction on their side, overthinking around a bend, on a hill, exiting into the major road as you are approaching causing you to have to slam on your brakes. And there are many unlicensed drivers out there also. Keep up the good work officers.

  4. Hope none a you in your lifetime never bust a red light or accidentally drive through a stop sign, cause they are both the same and should be ticketed HEAVILY instead of arrest.
    I can see you being arrested for driving WITHOUT a license, driving with an SUSPENDED license, driving with NO license plate and the big one which most of us do and is over look, driving with too much ALCOHOL in we system.
    So if you gonna do it, do it right and be consistent.

  5. yall still charging people for tint? but police, politicians and your friends in high places get away scott free! we need to identify them too they’re also doing alot of questionable things in society like sneaking away with underage girls and crime

  6. So how come Pringle and others can have their windscreen tinted dark and why is that allowed? The law is for all not some!!

  7. To Antigua, please get breatherlizers.. they are ver affordable … determine and make a law as to the legal alcohol limit and make sure for carnival we monitor the fetes. If you are going to drink, encourage designated drivers.

    Antiguans go fete and party and then get behind the wheel and nothing is done about it .. Infact it seems like the norm.

  8. This does not matter – spinning top in mud. The Courts will let them off with a little fine. The traffic situation here has becone so terrible and dangerous that there must be heavy deterants like disqualification for long periods, heavy fines and imprisonment. Traffic laws must be updated as a matter of urgency.

  9. more police presence needed at nights but we have 9 to 5 police officers. Aslo speeding through villages in the mornings is a major issue. if you officers were to post up in old road, swetes, liberta all saints, pares main road, Bethesda and so on they would catch alot of people speeding and without the necessary documentation
