Consideration is being given to extending the time frame within which motorists with outstanding traffic tickets should pay the fine.

This, after some motorists raised concern about the December 1 deadline, saying the time is too short.

Ticket holders are being encouraged to pay up fines before the new road traffic act and accompanying regulations take effect next year, as they would then face stiffer penalties for traffic breaches.

Director of the Island Traffic Authority Kenute Hare said the concerns have been noted and the matter is being reviewed.

He is appealing to motorists to avoid getting any more tickets.
