ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI – Two years after a serious road accident along James Walter Francis Highway where three persons were run down, the accused reckless driver was today December 2, 2014 convicted when he appeared before Senior Magistrate Tamia Richards.

The man, Radranauth Garchan, was charged with driving without due care and attention, giving false information to Police and driving without a driver’s license as occasioned on August 12, 2012.

In handing down judgment Ms Richards reminded Garchan that it was not the first time he had committed a traffic offense that had brought him before the court.

He was accused of being involved in a 2009 incident. “The first time you could have killed somebody so I have to make sure you don’t do it again.”

He was told upfront that he was sure to be getting a custodial sentence for at least one of the charges as she remanded him the care of Her Majesty’s Prison, Balsum Ghut until December 17, 2014 when he is to return to court for sentencing.

      GOOD! Glad they got him and hope they throw the book at him. He cannot drive and speeds with no regard for the poor people who have to cross in front of him. Once, twice, lets not allow him to do it a third time.

        He would be replaced by someone who respects our laws and the houses will still be rented.

    It is a serious problem around the bvi,many vehicles not licence and insured.law enforcement hardly doing anything about it.When they run down our children we have nothing to get and more than likely they would run back to their country if they are not from here and if they are from here it cost thousand of dollars to hire a lawyer .So by the time the matter is over the only thing u end up with is a wheel chair.Please do something about it Mr Police Comissioner.

    Take all Guyanese off the road. Let them walk or take taxis. They are a menace on the road. One hit my vehicle parked right by my grandma house. If he is still around and read this he knows who he is. Where ever you see those idiots they are speeding. Start by not renewing their licenses.

      Now you know good and well that the worse drivers on the road are BVI landers. Not pretending this is not true. You always saying, we run this, you tailgate, you pass on curves, you speed, who is worse drivers than YOU?
