13 drivers have had their licenses suspended by the Land Transport Authority today.

Altogether 14 drivers appeared before a forum headed by the LTA CEO Naisa Tuinaceva.

The 14 drivers were habitual offenders and were given a chance to explain why their licenses should not be suspended or cancelled.

“These are the people who’ve broken the law for many times and one of them has a record for about sixty offences. Some have been involved in some real serious traffic cases. Out of the fourteen, five are bus drivers, and five taxi drivers with one RSL driver and another three in the private category.”

Cases against these drivers range from stealing the takings to playing loud music and even reckless and dangerous driving.

Tomorrow 20 more drivers will appear before the same forum in Lautoka.
