A taxi driver was arrested for having outstanding warrants exceeding R220 000. Traffic Officers arrested the 54-year-old man from Athlone during a roadblock operation along Jakes Gerwel Drive near the N2 on Friday.
PICTURE: PixabayMMC for Safety & Security, JP Smith, said during
routine checks on the driver and his vehicle fitness, officers conducted a
verification for outstanding warrants of arrest.
‘’It was an unlucky day for this driver, but a timely
reminder to all motorists to regularly check for outstanding fines and warrants
of arrest, and to address these promptly to avoid possible arrest. While we
receive many complaints about the behaviour of taxis on our roads, ordinary
motorists also break the law and add to the recklessness in traffic.’’
‘’To avoid a similar fate, best join the queue at the next
Traffic Fine Roadshow, which just happens to be scheduled for next week in
Athlone. Residents will once again have the opportunity to resolve fines,
summonses or warrants at our popular roadshow, which coincidentally will take
place in Athlone,’’ added Smith.
