WTK: Driver Permit expiration

[Coppershot]

DP expiring tomorrow.
Could not make it to licensing office on friday cause my boss is special.

Is there a grace period where I can drive with it still?
My mechanic told me it's a week or two you can drive with it expired.
Just need confirmation?

I'm going monday to renew, just hate to travel.

Well, in Lic. there's a thing about late renewal fees, while there won't be any late fee attached to YOUR renewal, the periods for the different fees indicate to me that it applies more to ppl whose permits expired while they were out of T&T for an extended period.

There is no "grace period" for ppl to drive on expired permits AFAIK. I suggest that you keep low this wknd.

[Coppershot]

Thanks.
P2's on monday

na i don't think so as my DP expired last year August and I wasn't able to renew it until i came down in January and wasn't charged any late fees, provided you can show proof I guess.

[kiamotors]

TriniVdub you renewed your permit within the six months period, only if a person is renewing there license after that six months grace; they will have to pay a late fee.

[d rasta]

walk with yuh $500...

[SMc]

fork dat.....any issues on driving in TT with a UK drivers permit for afew weeks?

[krazeevic]

There is no charge for late renewal.
Mine was expired for 2 months and renewed it with no extra charges.
And its still $200 for a 3 year permit.. Not $500 as yet.

I went to Lic office in Point Fortin. Was done in 10 minutes.

[lostboys crew]

10 mins in Point....it usually takes me a half day in Arima. Once it even took
me 2 days.. ....last week i went for my certified copy spent an hour in the line and i received the old copy...they tell me i have to check the chief clerk to get the new owner name on the certified copy so that is a next couple of months again...... license office fail......

MV&RT Act Chapter 48:50 wrote:

56A. (1) Notwithstanding section 42(1) the holder of a valid
driving permit issued in any country referred to in subsection (2)
shall, whilst such permit remains valid, be exempted for a period
of three months from the date of his arrival in Trinidad and
Tobago from any requirement to hold a driving permit issued
under this Act to drive in Trinidad and Tobago; but he shall only be
entitled to drive in Trinidad and Tobago a motor vehicle of the
class for which he is authorised to drive by the permit of which he
is the holder.

For SMc.

fanks. 1000 is alot to pay for a few weeks on the road

[Coppershot]

Ok. I went on Monday.
There is a list with the prices,
I wrote it down on a newspaper but I left it in the maxi.

I think it's 6 months and over expired, you pay around $500 - $800.
and up to 3 yrs you pay $1300-1800.
Anything more than that you have to retake the test.

I can't recall the exact prices. Maybe another tuner doing business there can post it.

BTW

Can the police charge you for the same offence twice in the same day?
Apparently a taxi driver there was talking about his friend, who had something illegal on his vehicle. The man got stopped in two separate road blocks and got fined for the same exact thing.

[Hook]

Did he produce the ticket at the second roadblock as proof that he was already ticketed for it?

If not, den fork he!

like cinco said you would have to start over from scatch..normally if you miss the date they would just reschedule and give you a new date but considering how much time has past most likely your info is somewhere behind god back nowhere to be found...so yea

[Soul Collector]

So if your DP expired a year and a few months...its still $500? Or more than that?
