Concerns are mounting over the state of vehicles used by highway enforcement officers, raising serious questions about safety and reliability.

The PC opposition has exposed shocking data through an ATIPP request, revealing that a staggering 74% of these enforcement vehicles are over a decade old, clocking an average mileage of 300,000 kilometers! Incredibly, one vehicle is on the verge of hitting the half-million mark!

Loyola O'Driscoll, the opposition critic for Digital Government and Service NL, didn't hold back, calling the situation 'unacceptable.' He emphasized that it’s simply reckless for staff to be commuting in vehicles that should have long been retired.

Despite government promises of fleet upgrades, the actual results are dismal. To date, only two vehicles have been replaced—an outcome O'Driscoll condemned as 'an embarrassment.'
