Bus Driver Accumulates 1500 Traffic Tickets Over A Two Year Period
Speaking earlier this week in Parliament, Minister of Transport and Works – Mike Henry – announced that there were numerous drivers on Jamaica’s roads who had accumulated hundreds of traffic tickets, most of which were unpaid. One specific offender, a bus driver, has reportedly accumulated more than 1,500 traffic tickets over a two year period, and tops the list of Jamaica’s traffic offenders.
According to a recent analysis of Jamaica’s traffic citation data, Henry said there were 11 persons with between 301 and 500 tickets, 55 persons with between 201 and 300 tickets, and 393 motorists with between 101 and 200 tickets. He said the current outstanding fines for traffic violations in Jamaica total over J$3 billion.
