Penalty Points: 732 Motorists Penalized During One Month
It's been a month, Monday, June 10, since the system of penalty points entered into force in Mauritius. Since its introduction, 1,600 tickets were drawn. And 732 drivers have copped fines and points for various traffic offenses.
This was shown on Radio Plus Inspector Mohit Rama of the Traffic Branch of the police on 10 June.
Most offenders were fined for using cell phone while driving and not wearing seat belts.
Inspector Rama said he noticed a change in the behavior of motorists since the entry into force of penalty points. However, some road users, particularly motorcyclists continue to defy the law.
