As the saga of mo­tor ve­hi­cle fines con­tin­ues, the Cab­i­net yes­ter­day ap­proved a pro­pos­al for a new tick­et warn­ing sys­tem. Trans­port and Civ­il Avi­a­tion Min­is­ter Eli Za­k­our con­firmed that the sys­tem will be pre­sent­ed to Par­lia­ment in a few weeks.

Amid pub­lic out­cry over steep in­creas­es in mo­tor ve­hi­cle fines, Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar re­cent­ly an­nounced that a grace pe­ri­od will soon take ef­fect.

Yes­ter­day, Min­is­ter Za­k­our ex­plained the tick­et warn­ing sys­tem will in­clude a three or sev­en-day grace pe­ri­od for mo­torists to fix their ve­hi­cle de­fects or face the harsh penal­ties.
