Mobile traffic courts suggested to ensure prosecutions


 The Road Traffic Management Corporation says a new way to swiftly prosecute motorists breaking traffic laws is being considered.

Acting CEO, Gilberto Martins says they would like to have mobile courts on the roads to ensure prosecution for various transgressions.

He said the courts would not be an everyday thing, but would be focused on special operations.

Martins said one period for using such courts would be the December holidays on five of the country's major routes.

He briefed reporters on a plan to curb road accidents, which would focus on public transport and heavy freight vehicles.

Martins said more officers would be deployed at road blocks to check roadworthiness of vehicles.
