Ian Belsman, a leading share holder of a British based Insurance company, after a two week visit to the TCI is calling on the authorities to crack down and monitor the number of illegal vehicles on the roads.
Belsman, who told Radio RTC that he thoroughly enjoyed the beaches and fine weather, was a bit taken back by the number of vehicles he saw on the road with expired road tax certificates and the general state of some vehicles which he deemed not road worthy.
“In England and in many parts of the road these vehicles would never pass the inspection tests and they are a danger to passengers and motorists. If one of these unregistered vehicles were to crash say into a taxi there would be no insurance to cover the injured parties because they are not registered or insured.”
The retired gentleman added that he has nothing against the lesser cars on the roads he saw but maintained that they should be licensed and registered before causing serious injury. “I inquired our driver about them and he said they were jitneys and hustlers but while I know people need income at what price is person’s safety. The police and Insurance companies should really look into this,” he added.
