(Editors’ note: The decision in abdulrehman Mohamed v. R., Crim. App. 70-Z-67, 28/3/67, Kimicha Ag. C. J., is in accord; in that case, the charge was of driving a motor vehicle on a road with a defective hand-brake, contrary to Regulation 26(9) of the Road Traffic Regulations, Cap. 135. The fine imposed there was Shs. 75/-, payable in 2 instalments).
