Unlicensed motorist fined $320

A HARARE man was last week fined $320 by magistrate Nomsa Sabarauta for negligent driving, driving without a licence and driving an uninsured vehicle. Fungai Freddie Machiya (29) of Glen Norah pleaded guilty to all three charges.

For negligent driving, Machiya was fined $200 (or four months) for negligent driving, $100 (or three months) for driving without a licence and $20 for not insuring his vehicle.

Magistrate Sabarauta gave Machiya up to the end of this month to pay the fines.

Machiya was arrested after his vehicle was involved in a head-on collision with another vehicle along Lyndhurst Road in Harare. No one was injured in the accident. Machiya failed to produce proper documentation and investigations showed that some requested documents did not exist.
