According to an issued press release, Metro Police spokesperson, Nowellen Petersen says that Metro Police will not tolerate lawlessness on City roads.
“These types of traffic offences remain a major concern, as it means that there are too many drivers and vehicles that are not fit to be on our roads,” said Petersen.
