On Friday, July 12, the traffic department conducted several separate traffic checks and issued 122 tickets for various traffic violations, including driving while using a mobile phone, driving without seatbelt, and parking in restricted areas.
The police also impounded 20 vehicles for not being licensed, while more than a dozen drivers were asked to remove excessively dark tints from their vehicles.
A 19-year-old Golden Grove man was also arrested and charged for careless Driving, driving without a valid driver’s license, driving an unlicensed and uninsured vehicle, failing to remain on the scene of a traffic collision, and taking without consent of the owner.
