Eighteen-year-old Daymon Olando Simmons, of Cedar Hill, Warwick, pleaded guilty in Magistrates' Court to the offence which occurred on March 28.

Police saw Simmons racing down Spurling Hill in Pembroke close to 1 a.m. that day.

Sgt. Earl Kirby, prosecuting, said Police stopped Simmons to warn him about the way he was riding.

Inquiries revealed he was off the road until October 13, Sgt. Kirby said.

Simmons was last before the court last October for riding a motorcycle while under age.

"Since this is your first driving while disqualified offence by a court I will just fine you $350 and take you off the road for a further 18 months,'' Magistrate the Wor. John Judge said.

"Now don't come back for disqualified driving because the law says I would have to impose a sentence of three months in prison.''

Kurt Martin, 30, of St. John's Hill, was spotted by Police on March 8 riding a motorcycle on Spanish Point Road while disqualified.

Prosecuting, Sgt. Kenrick James said that Martin had previously been banned until July.

He said Police officers recognised Martin who told them he had "only been driving down the road for his father''.

Senior Magistrate the Wor. Will Francis fined Martin $400 and disqualified him for 18 months, extending his ban to January 27, 1995.
