Legislation is on the way to make public service vehicle (PSV) owners accountable for traffic offences committed by their drivers.
Minister of Transport John Boyce announced this yesterday along with other measures to make Barbados’ roads safer.
He told a Press conference at his Pine, St Michael office that legislation was also coming to introduce the breathalyser, ban cellphone use while driving and provide for electronic vehicle registration.
Boyce said his ministry noted with regret the recent loss of life due to accidents involving motor vehicles and pedestrians. So far this year Barbados has recorded 16 road traffic deaths, five more than there were at this time last year.
