A man who totted up 32 demerit points on his driver’s licence was fined and banned from the roads for 18 months yesterday.
Magistrates’ Court heard that Danshun Swan’s bike was pulled over by police on Crow Lane near Hamilton and ticketed for travelling at 65km/h.
The incident happened on November 23 last year.
