A driver who posted videos of himself performing “drifting manoeuvers” on the Solomon Hochoy Highway on July 21, was charged today with dangerous driving under Section 71A of the Motor Vehicles and Road Traffic Act.
Reagan Birbal of San Fernando, was charged after ACP (Ag.) ‘Mobile’ Joanne Archie spearheaded an investigation into the matter, together with Snr Supt Sharon Gomez-Cooper, Snr Supt (Ag) Wayne Mohammed, and Sgt. Ramdhanie, of the Southern Division Traffic Section.
Birbal turned himself into the San Fernando Police Station on today where he was charged and subsequently paid the $3,000 fine in the San Fernando Traffic Court.
The Police Service says that while it is pleased that the local racing organisation, Trinidad and Tobago Automobile Sports Association quickly condemned this action, it urges all sporting drivers to resist racing or speeding on the public roadways.
