How would they know?

[ek4ever]

driving on shoulder, breaking a red light and shortcut driving to avoid traffic lights or pass traffic should be a minimum $15,000 .... let all them MC taxi drivers feel it

[rollingstock]

look it up ....
afaik... taxi driver unsuitably attired is the only person getting charge except for a driver indecently exposing himself and any person in charge of A HORSE OR ANY ANIMAL DRAWN CARRIAGE(or any animal being led ) can give u a lawful instruction .

Will check it up bro, but I know it was one of questions on regs

The question you got wrong apparently.

I agree with all except driving without a permit. I can understand if the fine applies if you cannot produce a valid permit within 24hrs. But to have that fine applied at the exact time is extreme IMO.

If you say forgot your permit at home, you can/will get a ticket ( at the discretion of Police Officer ).
However if you explain this at your Court date as an oversight etc. the Court will tend to dismiss the case.

According to C News

Hefty Fines for Drunk Drivers: Motorists who drive drunk will now have to pay steep fines ranging from $12,000 to $22,500.

These new fines went into effect on January 30th 2015, with the amendment to the Motor Vehicle Road Traffic Act. Chapter 48:5 (MVRTA), which increased the penalties onexisting road traffic offences.


A person will be liable under the Act once their breath alcohol level is in excess of 35 micro grammes.

The increased penalties under the MVRTA as amended are as follows:

Under Section 42 (1) personsDriving Without a valid Driver’s Permitcan pay an increased fine of $1500 from the previous band of $500 - $1000.
For exceeding the speed limit, that fine has been increased from $4,000 to $6,000.
Under Section 70 (1) Driving under the Influence of Liquor, thefine hasmoved from $8,000 to $12,000 for a first conviction. In cases of repeat offenders, the fine can range from $15,000 to $22,500.

The other revised fines under Section 70 of the MVRTA are as follows:
• Section 70 B (5) Fails to Provide Breath Specimen fine increased from $8,000 to $12,000 for first conviction.
• Section 70 C(6)c & d Fails to Provide Breath or Attempts to Alter Specimen for Analysis fine increased from $8,000 to $12,000 for first conviction and from $15,000 to $22,500 for second conviction.

Hold up........who collecting and testing blood samples?

[Average]

Ah set of yes men and women in this country.They going along fine with everything until you tell them no canival.
then all of a sudden everybody realise hey this is a problem. I would personally love to see everyone drive less thsn 80kph on the highway just to cause total traffic gridlock for spite whole day everyday.
cadiz you just as stupid as the fool who doesn't know where to be wheh making a right turn on a two way street.

do proper and indepth research.see what speeds people drive at,ask why,how, if,when. then do proper setting up of rules and regulations. look at japan.there's a counter that lets you see when the light will turn red again.get them install them that way noone can say."boss ah din't know" and even when it changes the other light remains on red. for a second or two to make sure the traffic stops.so when you run the light after all that bet your bottom dollar you getting a ticket.
but nooo.this is the land of oil and music. ah seta asses who rinse out your ears with how educatrd they are.when in truth and in fact.theydotish

Excellent idea.

Govt will say they need to spend 5 billion to make it happen.

[tourniquet]

lol, don't have to go as far as Japan for that, Guyana has had those counters for years, plus they use solar powered traffic lights as well. Simple things like these make you wonder if all those Caricom meetings is just another excuse to have a lime in a different location ever so often

Orangefox is that you?

[Javedali]

I assume this is tunapuna magistrates court the social development office must first see if a person is fit for community service then they submit a report to the courts who on that given day ( the date in March) will allow the individual to proceed with the community if the reports States he is a good candidate for community service and if the report states he Is not the magistrate will give an alternative sentence

[shake d livin wake d dead]

[rollingstock]

[acesinghit]

it better to enjoy 100% of a chevy spark and still not fast enough to be considered speeding vs enjoying 25% or less in your GTR which is level make out scene for them Holden popos.

Chevy Spark 1.0 FTW!!

I am guilty of having non projector HIDs in headlights and fogs.. I usually drive with the headlight alone but late at night down the highways I will use both lights to make my van well visible.. But once at a stop I usually flick off the headlight to avoid lighting up the whole inside of people car lol.. Would get it retrofitted in time

What i've been saying tho is that---- all we have here to do is party and drink rum, if they put focus on other activities that are easier to gain access to, then we as a people can turn away from the rum drinking culture and be more responsible- the issue isnt the rum- its no responsibility, basically what the government doing is making anyone under upper class status - sheit poor

[pete]

They're not saying that you can't drink or party. They're saying if you drink don't drive a car after. Is that impossible? Do you have to drive after you drink?

[HSA]

so if police suspects you for being drunk and driving....pulls you over...you get out of the car and then drink some rum....could he charge you for being drunk and driving since he had no evidence of you being drunk AND driving?

[pete]

You don't seem to understand how it works.

Alcohol that a person drinks shows up in the breath because it gets absorbed from the mouth, throat, stomach and intestines into the bloodstream.
Alcohol­ is not digested upon absorption, nor chemically changed in the bloodstream. As the blood goes through the lungs, some of the alcohol moves across the membranes of the lung's air sacs (alveoli) into the air, because alcohol will evaporate from a solution -- that is, it is volatile. The concentration of the alcohol in the alveolar air is related to the concentration of the alcohol in the blood. As the alcohol in the alveolar air is exhaled, it can be detected by the breath alcohol testing device. Instead of having to draw a driver's blood to test his alcohol level, an officer can test the driver's breath on the spot and instantly know if there is a reason to arrest the driver.

So rum you drink right then and there would not affect the test. However if you show a positive test and they carry you to the station, the value at the station will be much higher. I wouldn't do it. Might get a higher fine as a result.
