HE thought he was cruising — but the law had other ideas! A Nyanga man learnt the hard way that riding a motorbike without a licence is not as smooth as it sounds.
According to the National Prosecuting Authority of Zimbabwe (NPAZ), Andrew Chinanga (46) of Mandicheta Village under Chief Hata was slapped with a US$200 fine after he was caught parking his unregistered Lifan motorbike at Corner Café Restaurant in Nyamhuka 1 Business Centre.
“Police detectives on patrol observed the offender parking an unregistered Lifan motorbike. Upon being asked to produce his driver’s licence, he admitted that he was not a holder of any valid driving licence, leading to his immediate arrest,” said the NPAZ.
His two-wheeled ‘freedom machine’ didn’t make it far — the cops seized the motorbike right on the spot.
The Nyanga Magistrates’ Court found Chinanga guilty of violating the Road Traffic Act and warned that pretending to be a biker without proper papers could land one in deeper trouble next time.
“Unlicensed driving poses serious risks to public safety. Compliance with road traffic regulations is of paramount importance,” added the NPAZ.
Locals joked that Chinanga might have thought he was starring in an action movie — until reality hit harder than a pothole.
With his joyride grounded and wallet lightened, the village rider’s short-lived adventure has become the talk of Nyamhuka.
