GETTY IMAGES‘’This arrest is a timely reminder to everyone who
transports passengers and who is meant to be in possession of a professional
driving permit that you are held to a higher standard in law. Even if your last
drink is the night before, the effects linger far longer, so do yourself and
your passengers a favour and make better choices,’’ said JP Smith, Mayco Member
for Safety & security.
Law Enforcement agencies also arrested a man for having 63
outstanding warrants to the value of R65 500. He was taken into custody at a
vehicle checkpoint in the CBD on Friday, and appeared in the Blue Downs
Magistrate's Court on Monday.
