LoverofCar 6th Gear January 20, 2010 Share January 20, 2010 Jail for drink-driving doctor changed to $5000 fine 20 Jan 2010 SOURCE: The Straits Times A 59-YEAR-OLD doctor who appealed against her two-week jail term for drink driving has had the sentence reduced to a $5,000 fine. Dr Irene Lim Kay Hian, a senior consultant radiologist at the KK Women's and Children's Hospital, looked relieved after her appeal was allowed. She remains banned from driving for four years. Justice Chao Hick Tin said he will give written reasons for his decision at a later date. Dr Lim's lawyer, Senior Counsel Sant Singh, argued that her decision to drive was not deliberate but arose out of her distraught state when she got a phone call in the middle of the night saying that a close aunt was in a bad state in hospital. On her way to the National University Hospital, Dr Lim's car stalled along the Pan Island Expressway near the Clementi Avenue 6 exit. A patrol officer with the Expressway Monitoring Advisory System who checked on the car, noticed the woman smelt of alcohol and the Traffic Police was called in. A breathalyser test at the police station showed she had 129 mcg of alcohol per 100 ml of breath, nearly four times the legal limit of 35 mcg. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ysc3 Twincharged January 21, 2010 Share January 21, 2010 (edited) i wonder if the Judge's written "reasons" wud be made public or not ? btw, couple of weeks back, a swiss? millionaire was fined $200k for speeding in his country .... the fine amount was based on his wealth. so maybe the peasant driver paid a fine based on his wealth ? but $5k for a SC Radiologist ? I am guessing she shud have a LV bag stuffed somewhere in her storeroom. Edited January 21, 2010 by Ysc3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
