(Trinidad Express) Tickets for traffic offences like speeding will start being mailed to offenders this year, Attorney General Faris Al-Rawi said yesterday.

The system has been tested and drivers’ permits and registration information have been digitised.

He said the police, the Licensing Authority, the judiciary and TTPost are ready to go. Al-Rawi said software to facilitate the process was bought and tested.

He was speaking yesterday a luncheon meeting of the Rotary Club of Port of Spain West at the ­Cascadia Hotel in St Ann’s.

The AG also announced that very soon, ­people would be able to pay their tickets and pay for their ­driver’s permits online. “You can pay online for any service in Trinidad and Tobago using your credit card or your debit card or a cash card, in the comfort of your home in your pyjamas, or lack thereof, at 2 a.m. in the ­morning,” he said.
