Protest - Trinidad & Tobago -Over 60 trucks pulled over as
– Licensing officers put the brakes on Hauliers’ crime protest
Trinidad Tobago .Newsday, by MELISSA WONG -10 Nov 2005: -- A protest against crime by truck drivers of the TT Hauliers Association came to a halt yesterday, as more than 60 trucks were pulled over by officers from the Licensing Office on Wrightson Road, Port-of-Spain, and a convoy of trucks from the East were stopped by police officers. Many of the drivers cried victimisation as they believed the reason for the surprise inspection came about because of their protest actions... General Secretary of the Hauliers Association, Curtis Seepersad, told it was strange that the officers would pull over the trucks, as the protest, which has been carried out from the beginning of the week, never drew action from the officers. "We pass in front of the Licensing Office every day and they never stop us, so why now?" he asked... However, Seepersad said he heard rumours that the blowing of the truck horns were the cause of the controversy, but he was not able to confirm the rumour... Participants in the rally, which had more than 250 trucks, drove around with headlights on and with red flags tied to the mirrors of the trucks...
