CABINET NOTES: The Cabinet invited a team of four lawyers from the Ministry of Legal Affairs to examine the Traffic Laws and the laws governing the Antigua and Barbuda Transport Board (ABTB) in order to give more authority to law enforcement to stem the number of traffic accidents.

Collisions cause death, destruction of property, and injuries that result in the Sir Lester Bird Medical Center (SLBMC) Emergency Operating Rooms to become full to capacity with injured drivers and passengers, especially on weekends and holidays.
The Cabinet has asked the team to seek out the data from the Royal Police Force, the Transport Board, and the SLMBC to determine:
- What age group and gender was driving?
- How much the offender was speeding?
- What time of day and what day of the week was the accident?
- What vehicle make was involved?
- Did the drivers have proper insurance and licences?
And other relevant data that can be intelligently analyzed. Amending the law requires the input of data to match the source cause.
The use of breathalyzers has already been made law, and that device will be utilized when alcohol or other intoxicating inputs are suspected.

One response to “Cabinet seeks legal review to enhance traffic law enforcement and reduce accidents”
The $500 fee for careless driving is negligeable. People don’t care because $500 is nothing, not even at the grocery store. Mr Pm raise it to $3000 dollars or $5000 and people will be more careful on the road
