Bahamas Press is sounding the alarm that there are far too man vehicles traversing the streets of the capital unregistered and without any decals or registration on them. Even if the vehicle drove in a northerly direction with no registration how could anyone identify the registration of that vehicle even with CCTV all over the place.
Police must crack down on these unregistered vehicles and lawmakers must demand that a vehicle to traverse the streets of the capital must be marked (even with a temporary registration visible) if their origional plates are stolen or lost!
we report yinner decide!
