PERSONS with minor traffic violations will longer face demerit points.
A release from the Ministry of Works and Transport on Monday made the revised changes to the schedule effective March 1.
The following is a list of the traffic offences and violations in which there will be no more demerit points:
- No identification lights for the illumination of identification marks on the vehicle at night;
- Failure to produce a vehicle for inspection;
- Driving a vehicle without a valid inspection sticker and certificate Vehicle with defective fittings;
- A vehicle without two headlamps and park lights;
- A vehicle without taillights and without reflecting mirror; and
- The use of vehicles with no windshield wiper or defective wiper
However, parking in a public stand designated for taxis will cost drivers three demerit points.
Members of the public are reminded that the fixed penalties payable for the above-mentioned traffic violations remain unchanged as part of the Fixed Penalty Traffic Ticketing System.
Persons are invited to visit www.mowt.gov.tt or www.drivingtt.com to learn more about these recent changes as well as the key features of both the Demerit Points and Fixed Penalty Traffic Ticketing Systems.
