Enforcement of the seatbelt laws is paying off, reports Traffic Department Head, as drivers and passengers avoid steep fine

3

REAL NEWS- Police enforcement of the country’s seatbelt laws is reaping success, according to Assistant Superintendent of Police Rodney Ellis, head of the Traffic Department.

For the past month, officers have stepped up policing in this regard, and quite a number of motorists have been ticketed and had to pay the increased fine.

Accordingly, Ellis says that motorists and their passengers are now following the law, so the stepped-up vigilance by the Department has proven successful.

He reiterates that seatbelts are life-saving mechanisms and the drive for compliance was not a money-making venture.

The legislation – the Vehicle and Road Traffic Enforcement and Administration Order, 2022 – increased the seatbelt fine from $200 to $500. The Act was amended and passed about three months ago.

  1. So how some people in high places side woman, wife, girlfriend and family members can call and get tickets fees wiped off? Especially your male police officers who looking woman and trying to impress them by begging the court to write off their tickets. 🤣😂

  2. “He reiterates that seatbelts are life-saving mechanisms and the drive for compliance was not a money-making venture”.

    When someone makes a statement such as that it’s tantamount to someone “swearing to god” that they’re telling the truth, when in fact they’re lying through their teeth.
    Your betters said to you in condescending tones that the covid “vaccine” is good for you and we’re worried about your safety, seat belt laws are nothing more than the same high level nanny state fuckery.

  3. Let’s not comment too,but the only person can safe life is Jesus Christ.

    All we need to do is just to drive more carefully on the road,and look out for other drivers…..
