Antoinette Thompson States,
I am a gazetted Route Inspector since November 1, 2019 employed to the Transport Authority and attached to the Swansea Satellite Office, Osbourne Store, Clarendon. My duties as an Inspector include the monitoring and regulating of public passenger vehicles and prosecuting for breaches of the relevant Road Traffic enactments. 
On Friday the 16th day of June 2023 I reported for duty at 8:00 am, I was briefed accordingly by my supervisor and dispatched on a summons operation that was scheduled to take place on the said day. I was accompanied by fellow inspectors, members of the Jamaica Constabulary Force attached to the Transport Authority, and a Justice of the Peace for the parish of Clarendon.  All members of the Transport Authority and Jamaica Constabulary Force were properly attired in our respective uniforms. My duties for the day entailed Inspection of PPV’s documents and drivers to ensure compliance as stipulated under the Transport Authority and Road Traffic Acts and Regulations. 
I along with the team assigned were standing along Glenmuir Road in the parish of Clarendon. At about 10:04am I observed a grey Toyota Voxy registration number PM6683 coming toward the direction in which I was standing, I executed the number signal to stop, and the driver complied. I approached the same vehicle. I cautioned the driver asked if he was operating to which he stated “yes,” and requested his vehicle documents to include: Road Licence, Motor Vehicle Registration Certificate, Fitness Certificate, Insurance Certificate, Badge and Drivers Licence. From his Drivers Licence he was identified as Mark Mclean of Coffee Grove District, Porus, Manchester.
He was wearing the prescribed uniform he was to be wearing. Five adult passengers who were identified to be a paying passengers were observed in the motor car and there was no off-duty/chartered sign. He produced all his documents. All documents received were found to be up to date.  When his road licence was observed based on the directions on same he was not to have been on Glenmuir Road, instead he was to have taken Muirhead Avenue on to Manchester Avenue to get to the May Pen termination point. The passengers were questioned in the sight and hearing of the driver and they each stated that the driver had picked them up at different locations on the route Mandeville to May Pen and that they all were going to May Pen.

I showed Mr. Mclean the directions given on his road licence which identified the thoroughfares he would have submitted to the Transport Authority that he would traverse on and informed him that Glenmuir Road was not one such road, so therefore he was not to be operating along Glenmuir Road as this was deemed to be operating off route contrary to the terms and conditions on his road licence. I informed the passengers that the vehicle would be seized and asked them to exit the same vehicle and they would be assisted with Transportation to the town centre.
I cautioned the driver and informed him of the offence and that he would be prosecuted for wilfully failing to comply with the terms and conditions attached to the road licence to wit in contravention of section 63(15) of the Road Traffic Act, in accordance with section 13(2)(a)(i) and section 13(2)(c) of the transport authority act as it relates to the directions given. The vehicle was seized and a warning notice prepared and given to Mr. Mclean which he refused to sign and left.
On the 19th day of June 2023 about 12:51pm. Mr. Mclean visited the Transport Authority Swansea office where a Summons for the offence of operating contrary to the terms and condition of his road licence off route was prepared and served accordingly by inspector S. Smikle to appear before the May Pen Traffic Court on Wednesday September 27, 2023. The summons was read over to Mr. Mclean. Who accepted and left.
