Crackdown Urged Against Irregular Vehicle Licence Plates

The Vice President of the National Association of Driving Schools (NADS), Kingson Jean, has urged the police, as the enforcers of law and order, to take a firm stand against vehicle licence plates that do not comply with the law. The law dictates the size, colour and font for the plates. However, Jean believes the police need to give the matter the attention it deserves. “I see a lot of minibuses and taxis with number plates covered in plastic, making it hard to see the number, especially at night,” the NADS Vice President told the St. Lucia Times. Jean also noted that some licence plates feature cursive lettering, making the writing illegible. In this regard, the NADS official expressed concern that identifying the vehicle’s registration number would prove difficult in the event of a collision or a crime. “I think the authorities should stop this from continuing because if you allow one person to do it, it will become a trend,” Jean told St. Lucia Times. He also felt the need to ensure that individuals who make the vehicle licence plates adhere to what the law dictates.
