ESHS student fined $1000 for multiple traffic violations
Magistrate Ayanna O. Baptiste-DaBreo imposed the fines when the schoolboy made his maiden appearance before the Magistrate’s Court in John’s Hole on Monday, September 23, 2019.
Prosecutors said the minor collided with a jeep when it was making a turn into the R&R Malone Complex in Pockwood Pond, Tortola, at about 8:21am on January 29 2019.
As a consequence, the scooter, which was not licensed, insured or had any front and back identification plates, was thrown in one direction where it burst into flames.
The student, who was too young to own a driver’s licence, was tossed in the opposite direction and received injuries as a result.
After being treated for his injuries, the ESHS student was charged with the multiple offences.
Following his guilty plea, the court imposed a fine of $100 for driving an unlicensed vehicle.
Additionally, the schoolboy was fined$500 for driving an uninsured vehicle, $200 for driving without a driver’s license, $100 for not having a front identification plate and another $100 for not having a rear identification plate affixed to the scooter.
Magistrate DaBreo gave him up to October 23, 2019 to pay the fines.
