WARNING ON BASE DRIVING MIL Warning on base driving Bermuda motorists may be banned from USNAS if they break Base regulations on Wednesday visits.
That is the warning from US Navy security personnel, who want visitors to remember safety rules that apply when driving or riding on the base.
"On Base, like in the States, motorists travelling in both directions must stop when a bus stops,'' said Police spokesman Sgt. John Dale. "You can only move off when the bus does.
"Also, you are not allowed to overtake any vehicle. If you are on a motorcycle you must wear a face guard, not just shades, and footwear.'' JOBLESS MAN TOLD: WASH CARS CTS Jobless man told: wash cars Acting Senior Magistrate the Wor. John Judge has suggested that an unemployed traffic offender wash cars to pay off his fines.
Allan Trott, 23, of St. John's Road, Pembroke, was fined a total of $650 and disqualified until November 13, 1994 by Mr. Judge on Wednesday.
He had admitted driving while disqualified, no insurance and riding an unlicensed motorcycle.
He had been disqualified in May for a year for a speeding offence, and was banned for another 18 months by Mr. Judge.
He told Mr. Judge that he was "more or less unemployed.'' Mr. Judge replied: "I know a lot of people who would like to have their cars washed. That's a good idea.''
