SABA:--- In recent days, officers of the Dutch Caribbean Police Force (KPCN) stopped several vehicles for a routine check on Saba. The check was in connection with the enforcement of the Saba 2022 Road Traffic Ordinance. The checks were based on, among other things, possession of a valid driver's license, valid insurance documents, proof of payment of motor vehicle tax, child seat, seat belt, use of cell phone while driving, appropriate helmet, and tinted car windows. Eight (8) drivers did not meet the light transmittance requirements of their vehicles' car windows. They had to remove the film.
KPCN would like to remind everyone to have the necessary documents in order, as mentioned above. Adhering to the rules of the traffic ordinance is also strongly advised.
This will also contribute to safe traffic on the island. Regular checks will continue in the coming period, where strict action will be taken if you do not have the above in order or if you do not comply with the traffic regulations.
If you are not following the rules, you may receive a fine. The fine for the above violations ranges between $30 and $225.
