Vehicles must be presented in a thoroughly clean condition, and must have been recently overhauled. The body and wings, axle, chassis, frame, steering arms, springs, trackrods, brake connections, shackles, bolts, nuts, splitpins, engine, engine shield and case, clutch, gearbox, magneto or coil, air filter, carburetor and all working parts must be clean in order to have an examination in full. All splitpins, etc., must be clearly exposed, also chassis and engine numbers. Drivers’ seats must be securely fastened so that the driver can have proper control over the vehicle. Spotlights, siren and musical horns and whistles are strictly prohibited. Each vehicle Trailer must have its tare and maximum gross weight painted in white figures not less than 2½ inches in height upon a black background in a conspicuous place on the right or offside of the vehicles.
The licence plates and Identification marks on all vehicles must conform to provisions of SR&O No. 41 Section 4 of the Motor Vehicles and Road Traffic (Amendment) Regulations 1991 and be in such a condition as to render each letter or figure readily distinguishable. The colour of plates must be yellow background, letters and numbers should be black. The attention of owners of Motor Omnibuses and Goods Vehicles is specially directed to Regulation 23 (11) (a) regarding the position of front lamps. Spotlights, fog and false lamps will not be allowed except with a written approval of the Licensing Authority.
The attention of owners of Hiring cars and Motor Omnibuses is directed to Regulation 50 (2) of the Motor Vehicles and Road Traffic Regulations Chapter 201 of Volume IX of the Revised Laws of Grenada which required that printed copies of the tariffs and maximum fares be displayed on such vehicles. These are now available and may be purchased at the Treasury, St George’s, and at any District Revenue Office.
Vehicles which may have been found by the Inspector to have defects must not be used on the roads until they have been issued with certificates, certifying that the vehicles have been duly licenced.
NB: Owners of Motor Vehicles are reminded of Section 11 (9) of the Road Traffic Act, which states that no Motor Vehicle shall be used for more than one (1) month after the change of ownership unless the new owner is registered as the owner thereof.
NB: The motor vehicle licence shall be affixed to the lower end of the left side of the windscreen for both left & right-hand drive vehicles.

This is incorrect, vehicle inspections are NOT taking place at Dusty Highway, but at the National Stadium. Save yourself a wasted journey like I had by going straight to the stadium…..
