Issue:Traffic-ticket amnesty

Published:Saturday | December 29, 2012 | 12:00 AM

The Government has said it will not extend the current six-month traffic amnesty which expires on December 31. Do you agree?

I do not understand these people. Six months and now the deadline is approaching, they are asking for extension?

- Jason Shaw

No, it only makes sense to extend it. Isn't it better to collect some money than no money at all? Is it not the Government who it will cost when the jailhouse becomes more overcrowded with people who couldn't pay their tickets? The Government will have to feed them as well.

- Garfield Deslandes

Not at all! They are taking this amnesty for a joke thing! They need to learn to jump at the opportunity and stop wait until last minute.

- Anthony D'King Christian

Totally! Jamaicans love last minute.

Hell no, if they would make better arrangements for payments, we would not have this problem.

People like to do things at last minute too much.

- A Di Starr

No way. They should collect all the money they can. However, it has to have an end date.

- Charmaine Wright

They need to scrap the traffic ticket amnesty and fix the actual ticket records and payment process first.

- Rt Hon John Crowe

Yes! We Jamaicans take too much for granted, six months was a long time!
