As 20 new radar speed guns have been added to the TTPS law en­force­ment ar­se­nal, Po­lice Com­mis­sion­er Al­lis­ter Gue­var­ro says he is op­ti­mistic the de­vices will sig­nif­i­cant­ly as­sist po­lice in tack­ling reck­less dri­vers.

How­ev­er, Gue­var­ro re­mind­ed mo­torists that even with en­hanced po­lice cov­er­age and ca­pa­bil­i­ties, leav­ing the scene of an ac­ci­dent could lead to crim­i­nal charges, par­tic­u­lar­ly in cas­es where some­one has been in­jured or killed.

Speak­ing with re­porters af­ter a han­dover cer­e­mo­ny for the Li­DAR Speed En­force­ment de­vices to the Traf­fic and High­way Pa­trol Branch at the Fore­shore on the Au­drey Jef­fers High­way yes­ter­day, Gue­var­ro ad­dressed re­cent in­ci­dents in­volv­ing se­ri­ous road traf­fic ac­ci­dents.
