The Government has firmly dismissed criticism over its move to double the fines for dozens of traffic offences from January next year.

Contacted yesterday, several Cabinet members, including Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar, defended the move, which was announced in a legal notice published in the Gazette on Christmas Day.

Persad-Bissessar noted that the move would have no impact on law-abiding citizens who follow road traffic laws.
