JAMAICANS THINK ABOUT REVERSING BAN ON USED TIRES.
STORY FROM DAILY GLEANER
Should government lift the ban on wholesale used tyre importation?
In Jamaica, motor vehicle accidents are relatively common. When these accidents occur, many persons blame road conditions, illiterate drivers, road hogs, and sometimes even the problem of bad tyres are explored.
Well, according to the opponents of used tyre importation, the latter problem is about to get even worse. Why? Because there have been reports that the Jamaican government may be planning to lift the ban on wholesale importation of used tyres soon.
Although it was the Minister of Industry, Investment and Commerce, Karl Samuda, who advocated for the ban on used tyre importation last year, he seems quite ready to put the restriction to an end this year.
“You have some people who are having real difficulty finding money to buy new tyres, so there is a heavy demand for used tyres,” Samuda told The Gleaner.
He feels that lifting the ban on used tyres (which usually cost approximately 40-50 per cent less than new ones) would really help poor Jamaicans. He has however indicated that the importation will be done using new regulations set up by the Bureau of Standards.
Well, despite the arguments put forward, The Road Safety Unit is obviously not completely sold on the idea:
“Used tyres should be treated with a healthy degree of scepticism. The Road Safety Unit cannot wholeheartedly support the move towards allowing used tyres on the island, as the institutional framework to adequately ensure that they are safe for road users are not in place,” the unit stated.
What do you think? Should government lift the ban on wholesale used tyre importation? Do you believe bad tyres have anything to do with motor vehicle accidents? Have your say…
USEDTIRES.COM INTERNETS LEADER IN WHOLESALE USED TIRES HAS ITS SAY......
The ban in question has never been about Tire safety.
The ban is one of many that were implemented at the Behest of New tire makers.
Goodyear, Bridgestone Firestone and Pirelli and their Rubber Manufacturers Association here in the Us and worldwide have for years mounted a smear campaign against used tires.Our company Used Tires Inc and our website http://www.usedtires.com have been battling these companies and lobbying foreign governments to reverse these bans for decades now!We HAVE WON A PERMANENT INJUNCTION AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT OF PUERTO RICO.
WHY BECAUSE THEY TRIED THIS NOSNENSE THERE AND WE COULD TAKE THEM TO A US FEDERAL COURT!!!!
We sell used tires here in the USA,Japan sells them Germany sells them France sells them Great Britain sell them all Domestically as well as for export. The sales of Good quality used tires is something that never should have been banned it always was and is nothing more than a Protectionest measure from your politicians for their cronies at Goodyear.....
