A MAN accused of hitting another vehicle at the Ranadi round-about was fined $500 after he pleaded guilty to the offence yesterday in the Magistrate's Court.

Andrew Iro was charged with one count of inconsiderate driving and one count of being an unlicensed driver.

The incident occurred on August 21 this year.

Iro was driving a three-tonne G-plate vehicle on the outer lane when he saw a relative taking the inner lane.

He then drove next to his relative's vehicle and were busy having a conversation when they came to the round-about.

There, Iro turned the vehicle for the round-about that he collided with another vehicle.

Magistrate Esther Lelapitu gave him credit for being a first time offender and for his early guilty plea.
 

But she warned him that the road is not an area to tell stories especially when in a vehicle
