String of traffic offences leads to suspended prison term

A woman who admitted nine separate traffic offences was given a suspended prison sentence in Magistrates’ Court.

Zariyah Georges, 25, pleaded guilty to three counts each of driving an unlicensed and uninsured car and having no driver’s licence when she appeared yesterday in court.

Georges, from Smith’s, committed three offences on March 16, another three on March 24 and the final three on May 3.

Prosecutor Daniel Kitson-Walters told the court that Georges already had 11 points on her licence ahead of her guilty pleas.

He suggested she be fined, disqualified from the roads and given a suspended prison sentence.

Archibald Warner, for Georges, said his client has two young children and lived in her car for a period.

Magistrate Craig Attridge fined Georges a total of $8,100, sentenced her to six months in prison suspended for 13 months, added 15 points to her driver’s licence and disqualified her from the roads for 13 months.
