A taxi driver was arrested on Monday, for driving under the influence of alcohol, whilst carrying passengers. Traffic Officers were conducting patrols, when they stopped the driver between Hout Bay and Camps Bay.
‘’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.
