IN SENTENCING a bus driver for dangerous driving, a judge has pointed out that drivers of Transport Board buses and public service vehicles (PSVs) have significant duties of care, especially within terminals.
Justice Jacqueline Cornelius was speaking last Thursday as she fined suspended Transport Board driver Clare Ramon Nevero Hinds $8 500 for dangerous driving in an accident that claimed the life of an 89-year-old woman.
On September 21, 2015, Hinds, 52, of Perfection Road, Bush Hall, St Michael, pleaded not guilty to causing Edna Sandiford’s death by dangerous driving on March 3, 2012, but admitted to dangerous driving on the same date.
Defence attorney Arthur Holder said his client, who suffered with diabetes and hypertension, was now doing taxi service, having been on suspension. (TKS)
