According to him, mobile court has become one veritable tool that the corps uses to curtail the many anomalies on highways, with a view of reducing road traffic crashes.
''The most prevalent offences motorists were convicted for were overloading, use of worn-out tyres, vehicle licence violation, and driver's licence violation.
''Others were, use of cell phone while driving, seat belt violation and lack of caution signs,'' he explained.
Bala said that all those convicted were fined.
