Over 15,000 vehicles licensed in VI for 2012 - Report
The report indicated that some 15,351 vehicles were licensed for the Territory with 13,218 of those being from Tortola. Just under two thousand vehicles (1,846) were licensed in Virgin Gorda for the corresponding period while less than two hundred each were licensed for Jost Van Dyke (116) and Anegada (171) respectively.
The DMV report was laid by Minister for Communications and Works Hon. Mark H. Vanterpool during the 4th Sitting of the 3rd Session of the Second House of Assembly on January 13, 2014.
It was further noted that the Department has continued efforts to retrieve the one percent (1%) of temporary license plates that were still with the public.
Over seven thousand [7,767] driver’s licenses were renewed for the corresponding period while a total of 816 new driver’s licenses were issued. Records further indicated that 110 motorcycle licenses were issued during 2012.
Notably, it was highlighted that there were still a number of illegal license plates on the road.
According to the report, plates which were not issued by the Department are considered illegal. In most cases, the report continued, they are made from hard plastic, whereas the Department’s pates are made from aluminium.
The DMV report further stated that since the introduction and purchase of new license plates for the House of Assembly members since 2011, no members of the HOA have collected their plates.

But I wish Gov would take all those junk cars out and get them recycled some how. As for motorcycles and scooters, as someone pointed out- here we have a picture with offenders. Why can't the police ticket them when they see them? (and keep a record of repeat offenses to suspend licenses).
15351 x 15= 230265 and 7767 x 10= 77670 for a total of $307935.00
do that for a few years and it should cover the cost of roads
