Hi

Can any one help solve a freindly dispute I have with a freind of mine.
In tobago do people get fined for driving defective vehicles. Do they get fined for swearing at a policeman.How long do they have to pay a fine.


Thanks Chris

are you about to get in trouble? :twisted:
if you meet a cop in a good mood he might not charge you, but if he wants to he will. for a defective vehicle or not fastening your seatbelt, or not stopping at a stop sign they mostly charge between 100 and 200 TT$. If you don't pay, you get locked up and swearing at a police officer they take you in right away :shock:
...so better stick to the rules and "keep your mouth shut"....some people already got hard labopur for not paying and swearing, behaving bad in court....
SO BETTER BE GOOOOOOOD! :wink:
