On Thursday, April 17, 2025, officers from the Traffic Department, led by Inspector Gordon, attended the Basseterre Magistrate Court, where Her Honour Sherry-Ann Liburd Charles heard and resolved several traffic cases.
Two notable convictions were recorded for the offence of Driving Without Due Care and Attention:
1. Delicia Anthony from Cayon was found guilty after a trial and fined $1,000.00, to be paid within one month, or she would serve fourteen days of imprisonment. This offence occurred on January 29, 2024.
2. Joseph Seeraj from Lodge Village was also found guilty after a trial and fined $2,000.00, to be paid within one month, or he would serve fourteen days of imprisonment. This matter arose from a traffic accident on May 4, 2024.
Additionally, seventeen ticket matters were withdrawn following proof of payment, thirteen were adjourned to June 26, 2025, and one bench warrant was issued for Mr. Girish Hiranandani.
As we approach the holy holiday weekend, the Royal St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force urges all motorists to exercise due care and attention on our nation’s roads. These convictions are a serious reminder that careless driving endangers lives and carries legal consequences. Let us honour the spirit of the season by driving responsibly, respecting others, and ensuring that everyone reaches their destination safely.
Stay safe. Drive smart. Arrive alive.
