115 dangerous driving cases processed in court
(Kaieteur News) – The Guyana Police Force (GPF) says more motorists are being hauled before the courts as footage from the Safe Road Intelligent System (SRIS) continues to detect dangerous driving across the country.
In a statement issued on Thursday, police disclosed that as of February 4 hundreds of dangerous driving incidents have been captured by the traffic cameras and advanced through the judicial process. “To date, one hundred fifteen (115) cases have already been processed in court, resulting in fines and, in some instances, suspension of drivers’ licences. The remaining matters are currently at various stages of review and prosecution,” police said.

Police in the statement explained that dangerous driving occurs when a motorist operates a vehicle in a manner that endangers the public, other road users or property. Such offences are not ticket able and must be heard before a magistrate.
According to the GPF, each incident recorded by the SRIS cameras is individually reviewed by trained ranks. “Each incident captured by SRIS cameras is individually reviewed by trained police personnel, with evidence carefully analysed, compiled, and formally presented before the court,” police said.
Recently, several drivers appeared before the Sparendaam and Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts charged with dangerous driving. They include: Kwande Pellew, driver of motor vehicle BXX 6175, fined $50,000; Wahid Prasad, driver of motor vehicle BAB 3610, fined $40,000; Narendra Persaud, driver of motor vehicle BZZ 9177, fined $50,000; Brandt Ally, driver of motor vehicle BAJ 9917, fined $25,000; Kimeon Brandford-Williams, driver of motor vehicle BAG 8728, fined $40,000.
The Police Force noted that it is strengthening its prosecutorial capacity to ensure faster preparation and advancement of SRIS-related matters as enforcement expands nationwide. Police reiterated that the SRIS forms part of a wider national initiative spearheaded by the Government of Guyana in collaboration with the National Data Management Authority (NDMA) to modernise traffic management through data-driven enforcement systems aimed at reducing collisions and saving lives.
