Man chooses prison over fines for traffic offences

But he opted for a prison sentence which turned out to be the same as the time he is already serving for an unrelated offence.

But he opted for a prison sentence which turned out to be the same as the time he is already serving for an unrelated offence.

Twenty-six-year old Macray Bulford, currently serving a three-year prison sentence at the Westgate Correctional Facility, pleaded guilty to all 19 charges put to him. The offences, dating back to February, were all committed this year. Among the charges Bulford admitted to were, riding an unlicensed cycle, having no third-party insurance, and driving without a valid driver's licence in separate incidents on February 28, March 14, and twice on March 10.

Rather than pay the fines which would have amounted to over ten thousand dollars, Bulford opted for prison terms for each of the offences.

The total sentence from yesterday's proceedings is just under three years and will run concurrent with the sentence Bulford is already serving.
