The Guyana Police Force Traffic Department has reported that several motorists were brought before the courts to answer charges of dangerous driving, as enforcement efforts continue to target unsafe practices on the country’s roadways.
On Wednesday, April 22, 2026, multiple drivers appeared before magistrates’ courts in Georgetown and Sparendaam in relation to dangerous driving offences.
At Magistrate’s Court #7 in Georgetown before Her Worship Miss Lallaram, five drivers faced charges:
Vivian Paul, driver of hire car HD 4455, was charged with one count of Dangerous Driving and fined $30,000 or, in default, six weeks’ imprisonment.
Leslie Wood, driver of motor hire car HD 3551, was charged with two counts of Dangerous Driving. The matter was adjourned to June 10, 2026.
Mohamed Adouhedia, driver of motor car PAK 2919, was charged with one count of Dangerous Driving.
Allison James, driver of motor car PAK 2919, was charged with three counts of Dangerous Driving. This matter was also adjourned to June 10, 2026.
At the Sparendaam Magistrate’s Court before Her Worship Miss Gibbs, Jamal Grant, driver of motor car PVV 9064, was charged with one count of Dangerous Driving and fined $50,000.
The GPF noted that dangerous driving cases continue to be identified and advanced through the courts, supported by the Safe Road Intelligent System (SRIS), a joint initiative between the National Data Management Authority (NDMA) and the Guyana Police Force.
The SRIS enables evidence-based enforcement by capturing high-definition video footage of traffic violations, which is reviewed by trained personnel and presented before the courts. These offences are not ticketable and must be prosecuted before a magistrate.
Since its introduction, the system has significantly strengthened the GPF’s ability to detect, document, and prosecute dangerous driving, with additional matters currently at various stages of review and preparation for court.
Dangerous driving, a serious traffic offence, occurs when a motorist operates a vehicle in a manner that endangers other road users, pedestrians, or property.
The Guyana Police Force continues to emphasise that dangerous driving will be met with firm and consistent enforcement. Motorists are urged to exercise caution, adhere to traffic regulations, and prioritise the safety of all road users.
