There is no denying the good intentions of the functions of the Directorate of Road Transport Service (DTRS) otherwise known as Vehicle Inspection Office
One of the reports received by this newspaper betrayed either illiteracy on the part of the officer or a decisive predilection to take undue advantage of the vehicle owner. In the instance under review, a VIO staff on duty, on this fateful day, accosted this owner of a Toyota Camry, and demanded to inspect his papers. The vehicle owner confidently obliged him only to be told that his papers had expired in October when in actual fact it was due for renewal in December.
The vehicle owner, a journalist, feigning helplessness at this point, placed a call to the office of the Public Relations Officer of the Directorate appealing to him to intervene on his behalf. That, otherwise, professional courtesy was turned down because the officer claimed that he did not want to interfere with the job of his field officers.
