fitness and drivers’ licences will be rectified this week.
Citizens have been complaining in recent weeks of not being able to have their cars inspected. Rather, they were granted extensions. This was not so much of a problem as police had relaxed their checks for fitness. What was frustrating was the delay in the drivers’ licences.
While the Guyana Revenue Authority has reportedly been renewing these, persons who had written their theoretical exams have been waiting for months for a date to do the practicals.
As of now, the police sale of certificates of competence which says that persons have passed the tests, are on hold.
“I visited the Brickdam Police Station certifying office this week and the lady there told me that she does not know when I will have a next date. Mind you, I was given a date since last month to go this week for the practical test. She said that it is out of their control. They wasted my time,” said one applicant.
A senior police official from the Traffic Department assured yesterday that the delay was a miscommunication and packages for drivers’ licences, including the booklets, should go on sale this week. The practical tests for driving will also resume shortly.
