SOME $2M are owed to the government’s coffers as a result of traffic ticket defaulters failing to pay their fines at the New Amsterdam Magistrates’ Court.
Consequently, Magistrate Adela Nagamootoo has taken the evidence of the respective traffic ranks and has since had fines imposed on August 16, last.
But defaulters, in excess of 350 drivers, have failed to honour their debts, forcing the court to have arrest warrants issued for them in order to recover in excess of $2M.
The ticketed charges range from obstruction to speeding and overload.
