TRANSPORT MINISTER Eli Zakour said in the near future errant drivers will be able to seek grace for their vehicular defects but said this would not yet apply and also would not be applied retroactively for offences done now.

He was speaking at the post-Cabinet media briefing on December 8 at the Diplomatic Centre, St Ann's.

He elaborated on Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar's statement on January 7 promising to soon go to Parliament to legislate that drivers get either three or seven days to fix their defects which were listed as a fixed penalty notice warning system in a ninth schedule.
