Click to view full size

Arrive Alive president Sharon Inglefield is urging proper enforcement of the country’s traffic laws as the Government scraps the demerit points system for the majority of traffic violations.

On Thursday, Transport Minister Eli Zakour said Government intends to retain the penalties for six criminal driving offences, including driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Zakour explained Government had approved amendments to the Motor Vehicles and Road Traffic Act (48:50), Ninth Schedule (Order 2025).
