[ingalook]

^^^ what kinda sheit a$$ answer is dat? so wam to people drivin vans an trucks... dey hadda drop their vehicle low enough so wen dey crash wit ah car dey won't drive over them??????

Dude I just giving you a possible reason for such a law... remember our laws old, and the prevalence of Tritons, Hiluxs and SUVs is a fairly recent development

[QuickPc's]

^^^ even back int h day it was havin real bedford on th road... that law is madness...

[ingalook]

Overly low vehicles are also a bit of a nuisance on the road as they often slow traffic when they have to navigate a speedbump or a minor undulation in the roads surface

Just trying to rationalize here

[TriniVdub]

^^^ thats why the roads should be paved properly in the first place.

[QuickPc's]

^^^correct

also this law about the child in a car without a car seat , i agree to an extent

tell me how is it a person who has a pickup not a 4x4 , just the front seat model, can he carry a child under 12 in his van? because they will be seated in the front

also a car that has no back seatbelts(older model cars)..they also cant carry a child?

to top it off..what about those who has to travel to school (pre-schoolers under 5 yrs old)..how will they do this?will the taxi/maxi be equipped with a child car seat?

i am confused,can anyone clear up this for me?to try to begin to understand

Is this for those number plates with fancy font? Or those with a "dash" between the last letter & first number? Or those with a flag at the side?

Or is this for writing & graphics (stickers, vinyl or airbrush) on the car?

I saw a road block in south & officers made drivers rip off writing & stickers from the all the glasses & car body.
I didn't see any car with airbrush or vinyl graphics.

[Kronik]

what about car driving around with flags? it have a black hilux down by us driving around with two very large PNM flags attached to it, ent that would be illegal?

[slow323]

they charging people for having indicator lights on their side mirrors

...and what about the QPCC stickers and all the other companies that have stickers to allow u in the building/parking area.

It's not the police fault, they just doing their job (where and when they feel to). The laws must be updated to reflect the times.... oh wait... iz T&T... my bad... carry on!

First one, My car is registered under Private ok, it's a wagon ok, so if i am transoprting something for my self or family, am i entitled to be charged if pulled over?
WTF is this? wuz the difference here other than the ticket price?
Yunno i have to keep remembering this is Trinidad, where laws can be broken to use and abuse the innocent citizens for the sake of some high class muffler bearings who don't give a dam about us at our cost
