Sharon Inglefield, president of Arrive Alive, has responded strongly to the fatal Claxton Bay crash that killed four people overnight, calling it a reflection of deeper societal issues.

She highlighted that with over 328,000 traffic tickets issued so far this year, more than 60,000 drivers likely should have had their licences suspended before the April 28 general election was called.

She stated that many Trinbagonians drive with impunity, lacking understanding of how enforcement, consequences (like the Demerit penalty points system), and re-education work together to promote road safety. Referencing Arrive Alive's rehabilitation programme, she said that participants appreciated the training, showing that education makes a difference.
