Its better than police handling the case

onyefin: Its better than police handling the case

what do you mean? if its police, the guy could have given them bribe and drive home safely.

the fine is too poor. it can never stop the guy from driving it again. in such cases, the fine should have been 50,000 or that one month imprisonment. Anybody can pay 1000. instead of giving him a fine of 1000, i suggest he should have been giving a warning and asked that if he does that again, he will be imprisoned with no option of fine.
