Police awaiting GRA list to tackle drivers with expired road licences

The Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) is about to go after thousands of drivers found with expired road service licences.
Police Traffic Chief Ramesh Ashram told Guyana Times on Wednesday the GRA recently made contact with the GPF for assistance in locating those drivers who would have breached the road laws.

Ashram said the Force is awaiting from GRA the official list of the drivers’ registration numbers before it launches its campaign. He also said it’s a process whereby the tax agency would first try to contact those drivers before handing the matter over to the GPF.
The Traffic Chief has said there are just about 4000 drivers involved, and not 41,000 as was previously reported.
A senior official within the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) confirmed earlier this week that the tax agency is soon expected to make contact with the top brass of the Guyana Police Force in an effort to find drivers who are holders of expired road service licences.
It has been reported that while staff members of the GRA were running the usual checks on drivers, the discovery of numerous drivers with expired road service licences was made.
Drivers are required to renew those licences, which expire yearly, around the owner’s birthday. The Traffic Chief has said motor vehicle registration numbers can be used to locate those errant drivers.
