Head of the Police Traffic Department, ASP Rodney Ellis, says there will be more speed checks on major road and persons charged for reckless driving may have their licence taken away until the outcome of the court case.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Ellis believes this revamped effort is crucial especially as the Road Infrastructure Rehabilitation Project nears completion; he notes that the new smooth roads may attract reckless driving.<\/p>\n

\u201cSoon from now we\u2019ll be introducing back those radar guns so we\u2019ll be on the street day and night monitoring the traffic flow especially on Friars Hill Road and the Sir George Walter Highway where the roads have just been refurbished,\u201d said Ellis.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

According to Ellis,\u00a0\u201cWe were supposed to be getting some new motorcycles, however due to the Covid-19 situation, we have not received them as yet so there you would see increased patrol on all of the streets, ticketing”.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

He added that, \u201c any person who gets charged for dangerous driving, recommendation would be made through the Commissioner of Police to have their licence suspended until the outcome of the court case\u201d.<\/p>\n
