Less than 24 hours after motorists were shocked to learn of new late penalties for driver’s permit renewals, officials now admit Monday’s figures were a mistake, and the actual fees are even higher.
According to Transport Commissioner Clive Clarke, permits that expired for six months or less now carry a late fee of $650, up from the $600 that was charged on Monday.
Permits that expired for more than six months and up to three years carry a late penalty of $1,750 instead of $1,000.
