A young man who admitted showing off to a mate by doing “doughnuts” at the Stuart River rest area, off the Bunya Highway, was fined $500 in Kingaroy Magistrates’ Court today.<\/p>\n

Clinton Travis Ricketts pleaded guilty to one charge of driving without due care and attention or reasonable consideration for other road users.<\/p>\n

Police Prosecutor Sgt Nick Nitschke said police responded on April 18 after a complaint from a member of the public who watched a black Commodore enter the rest area and do “three full-circular rotations” before leaving.<\/p>\n

The witness managed to record the vehicle’s registration plate and police later located Ricketts who made full admissions.<\/p>\n

Ricketts, who was unrepresented in court, told Magistrate B.D. Barrett that he was showing off to a friend who had “egged him on”.<\/p>\n

He said it was a “stupid act” and he had not thought through the consequences.<\/p>\n

Mr Barrett pointed out that Ricketts was the one in court, and his friend was not.<\/p>\n

“You’ve been left carrying the baby,” he said.<\/p>\n

Ricketts was warned that he could have lost his licence but he would not because he had no prior history.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
