An 18-year-old labourer from Onderneeming Sand Pit, Essequibo Coast, has been fined for multiple traffic violations. Dwayne Harris, residing at Lot 253 Onderneeming Sand Pit, faced charges earlier this month for three separate offenses related to driving without proper documentation.

The young driver was found guilty of operating a vehicle without a valid driver’s license, a serious offense that puts both the driver and other road users at risk. For this violation, Harris was fined $25,000, with the alternative of serving one month in prison if unable to pay.

In addition to driving without a license, Harris was also charged with breach of insurance, another critical violation that leaves both the driver and potential accident victims vulnerable. The court imposed a separate fine for this offense.

The third charge against Harris was not specified in the available information, but it contributed to the overall penalties he faced. The total fines for all three charges were not disclosed, but the case highlights the legal consequences of disregarding traffic laws and regulations.

This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of proper documentation and adherence to traffic laws, especially for young drivers. It also underscores the ongoing efforts by law enforcement to maintain road safety in the Essequibo Coast region and across Guyana.

The case of Dwayne Harris is not isolated, as reports indicate that several other individuals in Essequibo have recently faced similar charges for traffic offenses. This trend suggests a continued focus on traffic law enforcement in the area to improve road safety and ensure compliance with driving regulations.
