Essequibo traffic department clamps down on tinted vehicles
Fifty-three drivers in Region Two (Pomeroon/Supenaam) were on Wednesday stopped by traffic officers and the tint on their vehicles removed as the department adheres to the use of tint.
According to Officer in Charge of Traffic in the Region Arunanauth Ramnauth the ranks were on a “tint” campaign as part of operation “White Knight”. The White Knight campaign is a collaborative effort of the Guyana National Road Safety Council (GNRSC) and the Guyana Police Force. The aim of the campaign is to team education awareness with enforcement during strategic roadblocks across the country.

The department will continue the campaign right through the festive season in an effort to make the roadways safer from drunk drivers. (Indrawattie Natram)
