The Bottom, Saba- On Wednesday, November 1st, between 7:00 and 8:45 in the morning, traffic checks were conducted at The Fort Street and E.A. Johnson Road.

A total of 21 vehicles were checked and no less than 9 fines were issued for, among others, failure to show a valid insurance certificate and a valid prove of payment of the road tax.

A total of 9 fines on 21 checked vehicles means that nearly half (43% to be exact) of the checked vehicles had one or more traffic violations and gives reason for concern when it comes the degree to which motorists are complying with the necessary regulations.
