was spotted by Police riding a motorcycle has been fined $400 and banned for a further 18 months.

Joseph Ried Arorash, who has previous traffic offences for driving while impaired and disqualified, was seen riding a motorcycle in Hamilton Parish on September 14. He was off the road until June 1, 1994.

Senior Magistrate the Wor. Will Francis noted that Arorash had a string of offences committed in May, June and August of this year.

But Arorash said on the most recent occasion he had merely been trying to do a good deed.

"That morning the Young Decisions Group at Shelly Bay ran out of food,'' he said. "I am the caretaker of Shelly Bay Beach House so I just took a chance.

I was doing a good deed and I rode along Radnor Road on my way to the MarketPlace trying to avoid the main road as much as possible.''
