DRUNKEN DRIVING CHARGE
19-Year-Old Girl’s Second Offence
(New Zealand Press Association) GISBORNE, September 23.
A 19-year-old girl, Josephine Kura Teohaere, a kitchen hand, convicted of a second offence of driving a motor-vehicle while under the influence of drink, was fined £5O and prohibited from driving for 10 years by Mr L. N. Ritchie, SJVL, in the Magistrate’s Court at Gisborne today. The defendant was also placed on probation for two years; ordered not to own or drive any motor-vehicle in that time; sell her present vehicle as soon as possible; pay the fine and costs within two months, abstain from alcohol, except on a medical prescription, and not to ride as a pillion passenger on any motor-vehicle.
The Magistrate said defendant had a good reputation, except that when she drank she would drive. She had lost her licence for 18 months and she had faced another charge only 15 days after getting the licence back.
