TROOP A - NEWS RELEASE


October 21, 2008
Insurance Checkpoints Continue to be a Priority

BATON ROUGE - During the most recent Insurance Checkpoint conducted by State Troopers in St. James Parish, over forty tickets were issued, with eleven license plates being seized for insurance violations. As long as troopers continue to see high numbers of insurance violations on the road, these random checkpoints will continue.

State Troopers continue to see a high number of insurance violations as well as various other violations at these checkpoints. Troopers will continue to conduct random insurance checkpoints around the Troop A area in an effort to ensure compliance with mandatory insurance coverage laws and to increase public safety on Louisiana highways.

There are currently three additional checkpoints scheduled this week throughout the Troop A area, with more to come in the following weeks. These checkpoints will be conducted all around the Troop A area, and troopers will remain vigilant in getting uninsured vehicles off our roadways.

Insurance is a must for all vehicles registered in the state of Louisiana being operated on our public roadways! Uninsured vehicles on our roadways cost every citizen of this state in the end.
