Tint,Speeding,Parking tickets went up..$$$$

[CBharath]

the only thing that upset me was that Imbert said he doesn't think seatbelts in the back should be made manditory.....


...as if the back of the car isn't subject to the same forces as the front.....

Mr. Hunt, if and when you read this, hit me a PM....my job requires that i change his mind.

MG....class Saturday is going to be interesting...

OMFG

no but all cars have seatbelt mounting points and you can buy static belts at many auto places.
Both my 1974 and 1981 2 door cars have rear belt mounting points
I never installed them because I dont put anyone in the back.....

when the seatbelt became law, there were vehicles on the road that did not come with them standard, no? and people complied....

I personally believe there shold be no seatbelt law. Flying through the windshield is good enough of a fine for being stupid

[Snags]

Lol@this. I just saw two polices officers leaving the cross crossing there after eating some gyros and they weren't wearing their seatbelts .

[Chimera]

I buy a "Seatbelt" sticker and stick it on the dashboard

get so accustomed to driving without seatbelts over the years

[shogun]

I have no problem with most of the regulations except the ones regarding tint.Only because it's still subjective,and if the officer is having a bad day,or just has poor eyesight he can still charge me for a tint that might otherwise be legal .. i always remember watching Marcia's show (from Gayelle) some time last year,and some senior officer said he was aware of officers that would intentionally target drivers with "nice cars"when going about issuing tickets.So i think they should be made to put some standard in place, so that drivers aren't harassed.

My wagon did not come with seatbelts in the rear. I installed one lapbelt in the back left for the babyseat. Nothing on the other side though.

Illegal tint=$5000.
Speeding=$4000.
Parking=$500.
No seatbelt=$4000.
Reakless driving=$4000.
This was just on d news.......

keep to 80, don't park near no parking signs, buckle up, don't drive like a cnut and light tint...............nothing here is unreasonable

not unreasonable, but to make the FINE for a minor offense like TINT, MORe than a more serious one like SPEEDING , which can be fatal is a little silly.

Oh i forgot! TINT causes crime! My bad!

Not the ILLEGAL churches that are being built by our LEADER!

[Computerman]

The revenue collection exercise continues this morning on the highway by Price Plaza Chaguanas. All persons who do not wear their seatbelts, prefer to use the shoulder and have tinted windows in their cars are asked to join this fund raising exercise. All contributions will be for a worthy cause... the building of a church......**forced into all black heavily tinted SUV**

[bOOsTmaN]

[wagon r]

these are only amendments....they have to be passed in the House first before you have to pay any big fines. the only thing with a hefty fine are drunk driving and dangerous driving. but you'll need to read the stuff carefully. most of the big $$ are the maximum penalty or if you challenge the ticket in court.

...as for seatbelts in the back.....come on....from b13s come down all have seat belts in the back....once yuh car f/u it there....even my old 1989 meadlist had...


...and for those who feel that it doh work or choose not to use them...think about this,

the ave. person readin this now, who weighs around 150lbs, doing the speed limit, would require a restraining force of over 5,000lbs to hold them back from killin those in front.

...so just think....u driving, have on yuh belt, yuh 200lb pardna in the back behind you and yuh slam a brakes....he now flyin forward and will crush to to death....

....still doh feel it important...

[Greypatch]

there is one fine if you dont challenge the ticket...if you do and lose in court you will have to pay more

most new wagon rear seatbelt anchor points are actually in the flor of the cargo area, and usually have a point along the roof to guide it over the seat....it may take some looking and digging to find it.....honestly I cannot understand why in this day and age car manufacturers still delete rear seatbelts as a cost saving option

[urabus]

but these fine still not harsh enough to stop them "H" cars from going down the shoulder this morning, just after Grand Bazaar heading into POS

[Greypatch]

[wagon r]

there should be a fine so having a vehicle is isnt worthy or safe to operate on the nations roadways....

[TRAE]

i thought was 2k for them tickets

Is money they want...yuh eh hear Manning and he obeah woman building a 20 mil church

[MBC Autotronix]


• fixed ticket penalty of $2,000 for excessively dark-tinted vehicles obscuring sight of a vehicle’s interior. $5,000 court fine if challenged;

does that mean if u go to court and challenge them and lose the case?

or if yuh challenge dem on the spot?

They shudda enforce Using Cellphones and driving (without headsets or loud speaker)

[wagon r]

^ that coming.....and the challenge part is when you go to court to challenge and lose....

...if you pay it within the time frame it's less, $2,000.

[CBharath]

i still find the fines a bit high

[dragmaster]

the tint the car came with from the factory

I've seen that ripped of as well. Factory being Toyota.

[Chimera]

Isn't factory tint usually a clear UV tint?

[ingalook]

Fines too high, many people will opt to bribe officer rather than pay these fines... de police smiling with these new fines

How many tuners drive at 80km on the highway? 1% perhaps?

Why didn't they address the outdated speed limit when they were addressing the "outdated" fine?

On top of that no radar guns, VLT meters etc. them popos will like demself too bad!

There is a $2000 fine for "disobeying" the instructions of a office... this is so vague and open to abuse it eh funny

[eliteauto]

I will continue to say these plasters will come to naught if there continues to be a disconnect between the various agencies that contribute to vehicles being on the road
The enforcement part rests on the shoulders of the Police and Licensing Officers, but how fair is it to have someone charged for "too dark a tint" when the said vehicle was passed and licensed that way by the Licensing Authority? You have vehicles that are equipped with 20% "Privacy Glass" and yet still you have not a definitive % set for tint, leaving motorists at the mercy of any whim and fancy of Police Officers. Police want to charge you for unauthorized lights if your fogs are yellow but cars come equipped with and are registered with same....but there is a solution, all it takes is one person to contest a ticket and win and then have that person sue the ticketing officer, the C.O.P., the Min of Nat Sec, the Min of Works and the Licensing Authority and I'm sure they'll get their act in order
