Assisting in the fight against Crimes in Guyana
DEAR EDITOR,
Please permit me the opportunity to express my views in helping to reduce crime in our country. The majority of crimes committed, have been done by motor vehicle and motorcycle. The government, the ministers and the police force have not instituted any new plans to combat crime.
I suggest the number plates be made by a government institution/facility and must be metal pressed and heat embossed plates, the embossed plates must be reflective and glow in the dark. The number plates that will be made and issued by government institution/facility have to become the property of the registered owner (this means that if PLL 6761 is V. Ishwaridin # plate it’s my property) if I choose to sell my car I cannot give, sell or transfer my number plates, I would take off my number plates and when I buy another car I will have to register my PLL 6761 # plates to the new car (GRA) this can be done to update my property.
Government and the motor vehicle department must stop the way number plates are issued and the making of number plates that are made by anyone.
Worldwide number plates are metal pressed and heat embossed we see this with the cars that crossover our border (Suriname and Brazil) the number plates are metal pressed.
By having the number plates registered as your property will make it easier for the Police to find the owner of a vehicle or motorcycle, it will also help with the illegal vehicles in the country.
Please understand that the owner of a number plate (PLL6761) cannot sell or transfer a Vehicle with number plates, the number plates has to be taken off of the vehicle and the new owner will file/apply for a number to register the vehicle. The owner of number plate PLL6761 has to report to the motor Vehicles department (GRA) informing them that the vehicle has been sold and the number plate (PLL 6761) is in possession. When a new car is acquired by owner of number plate PLL6761, that owner will inform GRAso that an inspection can be done of the type of vehicle and that number plate PLL6761 is registered to this vehicle.
I have offered this simple but effective solution to the government, but as a low class citizen I cannot offer help or advice in the development of my country (This is how I feel). I have tried my best to explain the regulations of having Metal pressed and Heat embossed number plates. I can offer a proposal of cost and the efficient and effective way of making and distributing of this type of number plates to the citizens of Guyana.
