The guests of "Duel" on Tuesday morning were the inspector Mohit Ramah of the Traffic Branch and Jay Hurry, human resources manager of the Gaiety Constance property.
Inspector Mohit Ramah: "Some drivers still defying"
> What is the balance after the entry into force of penalty points?
Inspector Mohit Ramah: The first observation is that drivers are more cautious, disciplined and there was an improvement in their behavior.
> You mean improvement in behavior, but there were several tickets issued?
Yes, there is always a group of drivers, especially motorcyclists, still defying.
> How many tickets have been drawn to those whose behavior has not changed?
90 for not wearing a helmet, 300 for speeding and 90 for not wearing a seat belt.
> Following these 1600 tickets in a month, as will the police?
The police will always be on the ground to ensure that drivers obey the law and to ensure the security update.
> The fact that Speed cameras do not work does it interfere with your work?
We have other equipment for speed control. These Speed Cameras have been a plus for the police. They will soon be operational.
> How many drivers have lost points so far?
Some took 2-4 or 4-6 points. I want to emphasize that these are drivers who opted for fixed penalty notices that have paid their fines in court.
> He who pays a fine can it also take points?
The Road Traffic Amendment Act 2012 made provision, in addition to a fine or imprisonment, a person can also take points.
Jay Hurry: "We organize awareness sessions for our drivers"
> What is your observation of penalty points a month?
Jay Hurry: I drive every day and I noticed that drivers are more cautious and courteous on the roads. Their behavior has improved.
> The section will begin soon, what are the tips that you lavish your drivers?
Each year, a month before the cut begins, we organize awareness sessions for our drivers with the help of the police. We remind them to take precautions, especially when driving large vehicles.
> Season cutting pieces of cane often lag behind the trucks. What do you do about it?
This is a danger ... Fortunately this is not the case here, because the rods are transported in armored vehicles. Carriers are increasingly aware of this danger and there is less cane falling on the roads. Transportation is in appropriate vehicles.
> Minister Anil Bachoo involves a change in the attitude of drivers, especially trucks. How do you welcome this decision?
The truck drivers are professionals. They should be more aware of their behavior and attitude on the road. Even if another driver makes a mistake, they manage to avoid an accident.
