A 31-year-old man who was caught on video driving the wrong way along the East Coast Demerara (ECD) Public Road has been fined a total of $90,000 after pleading guilty to dangerous driving and breaching the one-way traffic system.
Narendra Jherry of Martyr’s Ville, Mon Repos, appeared before Senior Magistrate Clive Nurse at the Sparendaam Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday, where the two charges were read to him.
Jherry pleaded guilty and was fined $50,000 for dangerous driving and $40,000 for breach of one-way street regulations. Police said Jherry was arrested on March 9, 2026, in connection with the offences, which occurred one day earlier on March 8.
According to the Guyana Police Force (GPF), the matter stemmed from a video circulated on social media on Sunday showing motor car PAL 3206 being driven dangerously along the busy East Coast Demerara roadway.
Investigators later determined that the vehicle was proceeding east along the southern carriageway from Beterverwagting Public Road towards Triumph Public Road when the driver allegedly violated the one-way system.
Police said the car was driven against the flow of traffic, causing several motorists to take evasive action to avoid a collision.
