The Ministry of Works and Transport is advising the general public that there will be a transition period of six (6) months for the gradual enforcement of the Motor Vehicles and Road Traffic (Windscreen and Window Tint) Regulations, 2020 (the Regulations), effective 1st January 2022.
In a Media Release on Wednesday (29th December 2021), the Ministry states that during this transition period, law enforcement Officers, through the Fixed Penalty Traffic Ticketing System, will be able to record electronic warnings against the driving permit records of drivers found in breach of the Regulations. The Ministry explains that an electronic warning is a feature of the Fixed Penalty Traffic Ticketing System that provides law enforcement Officers with the ability to issue warnings to road traffic offenders rather than a fixed penalty notice, as well as monitor the behaviour of habitual offenders of road traffic laws. This gradual enforcement of the Regulations, the Ministry notes, also provides the general public with a transition period for adjustment and familiarization with the practical operations of the Regulations. “Further, it is anticipated that this approach would allow motor vehicle owners additional time to become compliant with the Regulations thereby reducing unwanted excessive congregation at businesses such as tint shops and auto garages.” Members of the public are reminded that enforcement of the Regulations through the use of the Fixed Penalty System and Demerit Points System will take effect at the end of this six (6) month transition period.

The Ministry said it looks forward to the full co-operation of the general public, “as we continue to implement measures to create safer roads for all citizens.” We are a small operation.
