776,000 traffic tickets have been issued to offending motorists by the police, so far this year.

The update was provided by Justice Minister Delroy Chuck at an installation ceremony for new Justices of the Peace in St. Catherine, yesterday.

Mr. Chuck noted that about one-third, or more than 250,000 of the fines have not been paid.

He said over 30,000 warrants have been executed electronically to persons, through the ticket information management system.

Mr. Chuck said the Government continues to review the demerit points system, and finalize a timeline for its implementation.

He pleaded with motorists to maintain order on the roads.
