Trinidad and Tobago….
LEGISLATION introducing fines of up to $10,000 for driving while using mobile phones will soon be tabled in Parliament, Works and Transport Jack Warner said yesterday.
The draft legislation, the Motor Vehicles Amendment Bill, was approved by Cabinet and proposes a fine of $5,000 for driving while using a mobile phone. If the fine goes unpaid for ten days, it then becomes $10,000 Warner said.
Thereafter, the offender will have to appear in court. “That has now been approved, it is now going to Parliament,” Warner said at the post-Cabinet briefing at the Office of the Prime Minister, St Clair.
Warner blanked questions on reports of in-fighting among lower-levels of the People’s Partnership Government.
