Drivers can expect tougher penalties on the nation’s roads as the Government prepares to introduce stricter traffic laws aimed at improving road safety—even after the discontinuation of the demerit point system.
An examination of the Finance Bill, 2025, reveals several proposed measures targeting unsafe driving practices and strengthening enforcement. The bill contains key provisions meant to give effect to initiatives announced by Finance Minister Davendranath Tancoo during the presentation of the 2026 national budget.
The legislation, scheduled for debate in Parliament tomorrow, outlines increased fines and stronger regulatory controls across multiple areas of road safety and transport. While the demerit point system has been scrapped, the new approach focuses on heavier financial penalties and revised rules to discourage reckless behaviour and reduce collisions on the nation’s roadways.
Further details on the amendments and their potential impact are expected as parliamentary discussions continue.
