A big salute to the police for your great service. But the punishment given to the culprits are very lenient and they will be again on the road with the same stuff.Possible cancel the licence at least for a year and your work load will be lessened.

THE POLICE IS NOT PREPARED TO RECOMMEND SUSPENDING OR CANCELLING THE LICENSE. WONDER WHY?
