So it still remains if what was happening yesterday was true or false, and I can't believe no one on tuner could say with 100% surety that they were NOT handing out $5000 fixed penalty notices

I know Samson Manton posted the entire press release from the ministry on twitter, then five minutes later he tweeted that he just past to a roadblock where they were checking for the stickers, someone even tweeted that they have a client that got a $5000 ticket (but we know how that goes), people even reported seeing licensing officer on the roads, so the question still remains.

Were people ticketed for this offense, or not?

Does it really matter? at the end of the day its still the law to have your vehicle inspected so just get it done

[Dave]

Transport Minister said on news this morning the reports that people were for not having the sticker were untrue but ppl were given tickets for other defects.

Jetta's station in Barataria had a line from Republic bank car park just past the croisee to where they are which is soon after Caribbean Glass

Why would you assume that I have not been inspected, have you read the thread?

Anyway, from what I am hearing from what "I" would consider good sources, people were ticketed the full $5000, but apparently there is some underhanded stuff going on and some investigation is going on, that's all I was told, no more, no less.

And it does matter, when officials are saying no, there are people that would believe them, even when what is happening on the ground says different, my vehicle has been inspected but I have a few friends that are being lulled into a false sense of security based on what they are being told by the "officials"

What's the point when all the so called "authorized certification shops" are not even doing an inspection?

Most places just checking the the engine # and certified copy and the rest is just paper work.

I hate draconian laws. This is not how you introduce or re-enforce a law. It's a recipe for bobol & chaos.

The cellphone law is a prime example of this. I'm not saying it shouldn't be discouraged, but what makes you think handsfree is safer?

Many studies have shown it's just as or even more distracting since it's not a natural way of conversing for most people.

I know some Scandinavian countries have experimented with dropping the ban and having police just ticket drivers who appear distracted. Which entails eating, women putting on make up, reading books, news papers etc.

Saw a woman doing about 80 heading east by sea lots, WATCHING THE MIRROR AND PUTTING ON MAKEUP!!! SKILLZZ!

^^That makes a lot more sense. I never fully agreed with the cell phone law myself. I obey it, but not 100% in agreement.

A simple thing like fiddling with the radio can distract you for a couple seconds. According to the nature of the convo, hands free wont make a difference

Some goodly folks said this is the way there were going.
Their fiends then went about investing in garages / inspection stations to do such.
A loophole was found, the garages weren't making money.
The folks are back, with a debt to pay. so investors now "eating the food" they were promised then.
why would those folks care about anything else? that's their pattern.

Got my certified copies today. People please thoroughly read your certs before leaving, I collected mine and did not read the last one and when reading while waiting at the gas station realized that I got another person's cert copy, my vehicle was PCC2334 and I got PCC334 a man's Suzuki Swift. Had to make a tack back and they sorted it in a half an hour. Inspection will happen over the weekend for most of mine.

[wagonrunner]

buddy has a 120Y. it's down for some small work, but time and money is the issue.
If when it's back up, it gets a ticket for not having a sticker, while on the way to getting inspected...........................
In other words, what are the provisions for a vehicle that was unable to get inspected, but needs to get to the inspection pit? Even insurance companies issue cover notes, not so?

talk to a certain Mr. Kuei Tung,
he was the bright spark who came up with this system.
