Bad, stink cops. Link to the BLM thread because it have a lot of people here who still don't understand what's going on.

Cops like that are why the BLM protests happened

Thanks for the info

I think it can be up to the discretion of the officer to give you a warning if it's less than 10 over, but they're not obliged. They can give you a ticket for 1 km/h over the limit. As the system now roll out, they going to rest it hard on everyone. Plus the 3 CXC mandated critical thinking of traffic cops will go far...

If there is a quota system for issuing tickets then that cop will sure make to fill his book

They really can't give you for 1kph over the limit as the accuracy of the speed gun is plus or minus 2kph. So they should start charging from 3 over the limit.

but yet they will do it. You think dem 3 o-level occifers know what is Limits of Accuracy?
Whatever that radar gun say, so it will print on the ticket.

plenty rejected ttps applicants in here boi

you can contest a ticket for 1km/h over the limit citing the accuracy of the speed gun being +/-2km/h in court. if it registers 101, the actual speed could be anywhere between 99-103, creating reasonable doubt.

But suppose the Magistrate say if you know that then drive 95-98 to not have any worries and then buss your throat with a fine??

exceeding 100 is the offense and you would need proof of that- isn't reasonable doubt valid in court?

[kamakazi]

If you are going to charge someone for going over the limit but can't say with any certainty that they were above the limit... What are they being charged for.
Also the speedometer on most vehicles usually read slightly faster than the speed you are actually going (erring on the side of caution as the vehicle is delivered/equipped; changing tyre sizes will obviously change this scenario)

I not doubting alluh. I have realized Waze usually has my speed 4kms less than what I am actually doing based on the vehicle's reading (I do have a digital speedometer). Can't speak to the accuracy of either though.

However the mind of a Magistrate is a strange place and from what I have seen precedence as usually applies in high court don't have to apply there.

I really hope more folk get tickets and points .

They all wanted PNM so let them take bull

This clears up everything. Think I will keep my tail in neutral and pay the fine.

my friend got a speeding ticket for 104 km/hr today, funny thing is i begging the girl to not be driving 80 all trip to south but the jackass police set themselves on the decline of a hill on the highway heading to south. Obviously your car will naturally accelerate a bit on the decline, what are you supposed to do? mash brakes going up the hill to reduce to abt 80 to compensate for the natural increase as you go over the hill? or are you supposed to slow down to 50 before you get to the incline then slowly accelerate up?

this thing is not about safety one bit. the stupid policeman ran out into the middle of the lane to stop the vehicle like a madman trying to commit suicide. No reflective gear, no proper gesture to pull over. I foresee someone bouncing down one of them these days and winning that case easily in court.

Claxton Bay?

it was right around there..

i have no problem with them charging pple for speeding but i know they deliberately picked that spot to catch persons because of the decline of the hill.

WRT a police officer running out into the middle of the highway to stop a car, they need to know better than that and do better than that, if someone knocks down one of them (and it is going to eventually happen) it is a very very easy case to win in court.

https://newsday.co.tt/2020/07/16/19-decrease-in-fatal-accidents/

THE police are reporting a 19 per cent decrease in fatal accidents and 1,300 errant drivers being ticketed for various traffic offences since the launch of the UTURN Traffic Enforcement, E-ticketing system in May.

The State can expect $1.3 million in revenue from the fines issued to the drivers and front seat passengers who failed to buckle up while commuting in a vehicle. Drivers also incurred four demerit points for failing to adhere to this road regulation.

A release from the police said that road regulation enforcement exercises on Friday led to the Traffic and Highway Patrol Branch’s Road Policing Task Force (RPTF) issuing 126 Electronic Fixed Penalty Notices to drivers for exceeding speed limits, failing to wear seatbelts, driving while using a mobile phone, driving a motor vehicle without an identification light illuminating the registration plate and driving a vehicle at night with one headlight.

The exercises also resulted in the arrest of 12 drivers for Driving Under the Influence (DUI) offences with one driver producing a reading of 119 microgrammes of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath – over three times the legal limit of 35 microgrammes of alcohol.

The exercises were conducted along three major highways, namely the Beetham Highway, the Churchill Roosevelt Highway and the Uriah Bulter Highway. Officers also conducted exercises along Main Roads such as the Dinsley Main Road, Arouca, Orange Grove, Tacarigua, and the Caura Royal Road.

The team was led by Senior Superintendent Dominique, Superintendent Gordon, ASP Williams, Inspector Charles and supervised by Sgt Harrylal.

The RPTF, the driving thrust behind the police’s road policing efforts, hopes this will act as a deterrent to drivers, further decreasing the 19 per cent reduction in fatal accidents achieved for 2020. Between January – June, 55 road users died in accidents as when compared to 68 for the same period in 2019.

Police Traffic Safety Co-ordinator Sgt Brent Batson, expressed disappointment that many drivers are still being ticketed for seatbelt offences. He said the police will soon start its “Sit, Click & Drive” awareness programme under the umbrella of its iRoadsafe Education and Awareness Campaign aimed at helping road users practice safer and more responsible behaviour and avoid points n their driver’s permits.

well, duhhh. less people on the road for pandemic and economic reversal.

wrt to the speed gun and being charged for 101kmph, the law cites 1 to 5/10 kmph over the speed limit as the first bracket. it didnt accomodate an error margin. u might have to prove that ur speed was actually not above, and u would have to provide the document to show the error of that machine that was used.
but, it is not illegal to go at the max of the speed limit, so a magistrate cannot.... should not tell u that u HAVE to go less than 98kmph to avoid the possiblity of the charge. we getting into the complexity detail that trini not going to put up with.
rule of thumb, just stay a 5 km under the speed limit.

hear this, if ur inspection expired, but u have an appointment, tha goh wuk?
