T&T Starts Work On Electronic Vehicle Registration And Driver Licensing
On Wednesday, February 18th, at the sitting of the House of Representatives, Transport Minister, Colm Imbert announced that “Barring unforeseen circumstances, we hope that by the end of this year, 2009, we would be able to implement the new system for renewals, new permits, transfers of vehicles and so on, and then, over the next two years after that, we should be able to fully implement a completely-electronic computerised system for driver’s permits and vehicle registration at the licensing office”.
Well it’s about time!
I’m so proud that there is actually some effort on the part of our government to stem the corruption that takes place at licensing office. Regretfully, there have been too many road fatalities and car robberies that was a direct result of the corruption that has been allowed to go unchecked. Initially I was pleased with only the knowledge that the police were carrying out an investigation into fraudulent activity at the Licensing Office but the computerized system is terrific. I guess because these measures exceeded my expectations. Not only did I think this should have been done a long time ago I have an extremely poor perception about the functionality of our government and defense forces.
Mr. Imbert went on to further explain to the parliament that “You would be aware that we have entered into an arrangement with the province of Nova Scotia to introduce their system for driver’s permits and motor vehicle licensing. It’s a highly computerised system and the intention is that a number of transactions will be available electronically, once this new system is operational”.
Although the entire process is expected to take over two years it still better than doing nothing!

Just like they are able to steal cable regardless of what measures are put in place. Trinidadians will continue to find way around this new system to continue with their corruption.
