MAGISTRATE issues arrest warrants for 350 traffic defaulters -to recover over $2M in fines.
But defaulters, in excess of 350 drivers, have failed to honour their debts, forcing the court to have arrest warrants issued for them in order to recover in excess of $2M.
The ticketed charges range from obstruction to speeding and overload.
Most traffic violators will pay their fines if government could make it possible to easily pay those fines.
I was told it’s like an all day hassle when one goes to pay fines at the court, they are told to run here there and everywhere.
The government could easily make a deal with bank branches all over Guyana for fines to be paid at the banks.
In that way, traffic violators will not be able to complain of hassles when they go to pay their fines.
If traffic violators failed to pay their fines through this convenient way, then it means that they do not intend to pay fines and must be banned from driving until outstanding fines are paid.
Once again I am pleading with authorities to place fresh paint markings on all roads and speed humps and I am pleading with authorities to placing stop signs on poles at all intersections.
It would be easy to make all intersections without traffic lights a four way stop, especially in the Georgetown area.
These would save lives and reduce costs and damage to personal property.
Drivers would always be aware of these stop signs at almost every intersection.
