By Rehanna RamsayPerhaps it was failure to see the road traffic signs or a blatant disregard for them, that landed some 15 drivers before Georgetown Supreme Court Judge Navindra Singh, yesterday.Some of the drivers waiting to respond to contempt of court accusations, yesterday.The drivers were all held in contempt of court,Wholesale Authentic Jerseys, after they were arrested by traffic ranks for honking their horns in the vicinity of the Georgetown High Court and Magistrates’ Courts respectively; areas universally known to be silent zones.Several signs have been erected in the vicinity of the courts to caution vehicular traffic proceeding along the thoroughfares that they are approaching a silent zone and that the sounds of horns are prohibited. But regularly, (during the work hours at the Courts) the horns of vehicular traffic could be deafening.In normal circumstances, persons found in breach of observing the traffic signs are placed in summary hearing before the Magistrates’ Court but yesterday Justice Singh opted to hold the drivers in contempt of court for their blatant disregard of the signs.The Judge had requested three officers from the Police Traffic Department and instructed the ranks be placed in the vicinity of the Croal Street and Avenue of the Republic. By noon, the ranks apprehended at least 15 drivers, who failed to observe the signs.Following the regular court proceedings, the Judge dealt with the drivers individually. The traffic officers provided the court with the particulars of each case on the spot and the drivers were given a chance to respond.Justice Singh noted that the actions of the drivers were contemptuous not only because they disturbed the usually quiet confines of Court, but they directly affected his work; his ability to adequately hear and record, the evidence in the trials being conducted.Some persons immediately accepted that they were in default and were fined $2,000 for contempt while others were ordered to pay $5,000.Two male drivers initially opted to deny that they were in default of adhering to the signs but they were told by the Judge that they could be fined a total of $250,000 if they were found guilty by the court. The men changed their minds. The drivers were given time to pay the fine. Failure to do so will result in a period of imprisonment.The Judge also noted the fine is likely to increase, should persons continually fail to adhere to the signs.Outside the courtroom, some of the disgruntled drivers voiced their disapproval. One person commented that “We should pool $1000 each and hire a lawyer fuh fight we case.” Another noted that the hearing is unfair and should be highlighted by the media.However, in a telephone interview with Kaieteur News, Traffic Chief, Dion Moore, explained under the Motor Vehicle and Road Traffic Act failure to conform to sign is an offence. Chapter 51:02 51 (b) of the Act outlines any person driving or propelling any vehicle or being in charge of an animal who—fails to conform to the indication given by the sign, shall be guilty of an offence.He noted that these offences are usually dealt with at the Summary or Magistrate’s Court but there are other legal means in which persons in default can be sanctioned for essentially minimal traffic offences.The Traffic Chief noted that it is universal knowledge that vehicular traffic is prohibited from sounding their horns around quiet zones such as the hospitals and courts since this can result in disruption of the work being conducted there.Last October, the Traffic Department of the Guyana Police Force, collaborated with the Ministry of Public Works to erect signs prohibiting the use of horns, around the vicinity of the Court.
