Crim. Rev. 113-M-66; 21/4/66;
Platt,
J.
Accused was convicted on his own plea
of two traffic offences, including allowing his tractor to be driven on the
road without there being an insurance policy in force. (Cap. 169, s. 4(1).) For
this offence, he was fined Shs. 100/- or three weeks’ imprisonment.
Held:
That the accused was not himself driving the tractor when it was stopped does
not affect his responsibility for the failure to have it insured, since he had
given permission for the driver to take it on the road. Therefore, there was no
reason “special to the offence” for the
magistrate’s failure to disqualify the accused
from holding or obtaining a driving licence. Order of disqualification for
twelve months from the time of the offence was entered.
