Unregistered vehicles to be clamped

THE Ministry of Transport and Infrastructural Development has warned all vehicles without registration number plates will be clamped down in a bid to maintain order and sanity in the country’s roads.

This comes in the backdrop of a noted growing trend of vehicles plying the country’s roads without the registration number plates.

In a statement, the Ministry said this trend is despite their efforts to fully decentralize the issuance of number plates.

“The public is hereby notified that it is an offence to drive an unregistered and or an unlicensed vehicle. To ensure that no one and no place is left behind, the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructural Development has fully decentralised the issuance of vehicle registration number plates.

“Local production of vehicle registration number plates has ensured adequate stock; hence motorists are encouraged to visit their nearest ZimPost, ZIMRA offices or the nearest port of entry to acquire number plates. To maintain order and sanity in the country, all vehicles without registration number plates will be clamped down with immediate effect,” reads the notice.
