Sticker should be placed to bottom left corner of the  windscreen.

Tuesday, June 24, 2008 – The Insurance Council of St. Lucia is calling on motorists to move quickly to obtain their insurance stickers before the new legislation is gazetted.

Executive Secretary of the Council Kathleen Andrew says her office has been monitoring the issue and has commended the Ministry of Transport for undertaking the initiative.  The new law on insurance stickers is just an amendment to the existing law that will make it an offence not to have insurance stickers posted on motor vehicles.

Road Worthiness Sticker as provided by motor insurance agencies

“We wish to appease the concerns of motorists regarding the availability of road worthiness stickers stating that the supply of stickers has been replenished and persons who have not received their stickers should contact their insurer right away. We have in the past run out of stickers and we used a temporary notice in lieu of those stickers, but the Commissioner of Police has been advised of the discontinuation of those letters as the sticker stock has been replenished, said the Ms Andrew.

The Council is advising persons with temporary letters in their possession to return these to their insurers in exchange for an insurance stickers immediately. This is all part of an awareness campaign to ensure all motorists are informed ahead of the start of enforcement of the new law.

“We are pleased with the response from this initiative as it displays an increase in insured vehicles on our road. We therefore urge the public to contact the Council's office should there be any concerns or queries or to make a report,” she said.
