Hefty fine for red light

Not stopping at a traffic light has cost a driver $1000.

That was the fine handed down by Magistrate Graveney Bannister in the Traffic Court to Kenmore Clarke of Dash Road, Bank Hall, St Michael, who pleaded guilty to the offence of May 20, 2018.

Clarke said he was going through the amber light, when the lights changed.

The magistrate noted that such offences were too prevalent. Failing to pay the forthwith fine, Clarke will spend 100 days in prison.
