In just over 24 hours, the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) issued 418 fixed penalty tickets throughout Trinidad and Tobago.

And this number is expected to increase over this weekend as the police have assured that they will be out in full force conducting routine operations to ensure road safety and that persons are adhering to the law.

Speaking with the Express yesterday, Public Road Safety Officer Sgt Brent Batson said the TTPS had received information that people were scrambling to visit insurance agents and inspection stations on Friday.
