7 drivers fined $700,000 for stopping on the BJ Demerara River Bridge 

Traffic Chief Assistant Commissioner Mahendra Singh has announced that drivers who stop their vehicles on the Bharrat Jagdeo Demerara River Bridge will be fined $100,000, and already, seven persons have been penalised.
“Already seven persons would have had to pay. Take note that the bylaws that govern the use of that bridge give the general manager powers beyond the police to ensure you are fined,” he explained.

He also explained that the vehicles could get impounded, and drivers/owners would also have to pay another fee to get them released.
In October, shortly after the newly commissioned US$262 million bridge was opened, the Guyana Police Force (GPF) began stepping up its presence on the bridge as part of a clampdown on reckless driving, speeding, and other traffic offences.
Several instances of lawless and reckless driving on the bridge were recorded, prompting the GPF to act decisively. Traffic Chief, Assistant Commissioner Mahendra Singh, had said officers will adopt a zero-tolerance approach to traffic offences on and around the bridge.
