More than 700 dis­qual­i­fied dri­vers across Trinidad and To­ba­go will be giv­en a sec­ond chance to re­gain their per­mit.

The op­por­tu­ni­ty comes at a re­duced cost through a two-and-a-half-week re­ha­bil­i­ta­tion pro­gramme, ac­cord­ing to Trans­port and Civ­il Avi­a­tion Min­is­ter Eli Za­k­our.

Speak­ing at yes­ter­day’s post-Cab­i­net me­dia brief­ing at the Diplo­mat­ic Cen­tre, St Ann’s, Za­k­our an­nounced that the ini­tia­tive will be rolled out at the Ca­roni Li­cens­ing Of­fice and oth­er des­ig­nat­ed fa­cil­i­ties across the coun­try, of­fer­ing dri­vers a struc­tured path­way to re­gain their per­mits. But this will be done un­der strict con­di­tions.
