As hundreds of people rush to get their vehicles inspected, the Licensing Authority will operationalise two stadiums for inspections.
Transport Commissioner, Clive Clark says over the next six weeks, those who own vehicles that are over 6,000 kg will be able to have their inspection done at the Ato Boldon Stadium in Couva and the Larry Gomes Stadium in Arima.
Clarke says these inspections will be done on an appointment system. He said since the Licensing Authority’s moratorium on inspections and permit renewals ended at the end of December, hundreds of people have been rushing to get their inspections done, causing a major backlog at licensing offices across the country.
Clarke says while licensing officers have been carrying out road checks for inspection certificates, no tickets have been issued for the year so far. Failure to have a valid inspection certificate attracts a $1,000 ticket and six demerit points.
This is a developing story and it will be updated once more information is available.
