For driving with expired road worthy certificate and failing to stop for a police routine check, Paul Kwaku, a taxi driver in Dormaa-Ahenkro, has been slapped with a GH�240.00 fine.
In default, Kwaku will spend three months in prison in hard labour.
Kwaku pleaded guilty to the charges and was convicted on his own plea by the Dormaa Circuit Court presided over by Mr Alexander Osei Tutu.
Inspector Charles Agovi told the court that Kwaku was in-charge of Tico taxi cab with registration number BA 587-09 and plied between Dormaa-Ahenkro and Gonokrom on the Ghana-Cote d'Ivoire border.
He said on November 4, this year, police personnel at Motor Traffic and Transport Unit (MTTU) went on inspection of vehicles at a spot in Dormaa-Ahenkro called "Preventive".
He said Kwaku refused to stop after he was signaled to do so for inspection. He sped off instead.
Inspector Agovi added that later the following day, the inspection team met the accused in town and when he was stopped for routine check it was detected his road worthy certificate had expired.
