License dodgers have paid more than $260,000 in fines since a new electronic monitoring system was introduced onto Bermuda’s roads – including one owner who racked up $63,000 in citations.

The Electronic Vehicle Registration system (EVR) went live in July to track unlicensed and uninsured vehicles.

According to Premier and Transport Minister Ewart Brown a report last month showed that EVR had collected more than $267,000 in fines from people attending Magistrates’ Court.

“Vehicle owners now realising they cannot beat the system are going to TCD to ensure their vehicles are tagged,” said the Premier.
