NSF with no licence showed 'wilful disregard' of road rules

By Selina Lum

 

A FULL-TIME national serviceman out to impress his girlfriend on her birthday in December 2009 borrowed a friend's car to drive her home - never mind that he had no driving licence.

 

Edwin Lin Kangming, then 20, floored the accelerator and blazed down Seletar Expressway at 127kmh at just past 1am on Christmas Day, catching the attention of two Traffic Police officers. They gave chase on their motorcycles, lights flashing and sirens blaring, and still Lin did not pull over.

 

Instead, he went faster, swerved in and out of lanes, ran two red lights, drove against the flow of traffic for a short stretch, and even caused one of the police bikes to crash into metal railings.

 

Lin stopped only when other vehicles ahead of him stopped at a red light on Woodlands Avenue 1, and was arrested.

 

He was recently sentenced to six weeks' jail, fined $3,000 and barred from driving for three years.

 

He pleaded guilty to seven charges: speeding, failing to stop on the orders of a police officer, dangerous driving, driving without a valid licence, driving without insurance, failing to stop in an accident, and failing to render aid in an accident.

 

Read the full story in Saturday's edition of The Straits Times.

 

Luckily he did not get anyone, including himself, GF, her siblings & others, killed during his rash act. Only a pursuing TP was hurt in the process.

 

Really stupid to pull a stunt like that to impress the GF.

 

The friend who lent him the car will most probably kena for failing to ensure that he has a valid license...

Sometimes I wonder if the penalty and the offence are relevant?

only irrelevant if the defendant belongs to the elite class.

[Maldini03]

Not relevant. 6weeks?? i guess 6 month more appropriate, + rottan please.

[Scion]

i'd give him no fine, jail 1 year and barred from driving for 8 years

[Sunlight]

he sure tio DB la. which is worst than jail. so relax. he will still get it.

[Rustyz]

Since he is not covered by insurance, I assume if he hit any car during the chase the car owner only can lan lan sux thumb rite.

 

He is really dumb w/o licence still speed(attention seeker). 6 weeks for his dumb act, the punishment is too light.

 

Why the car owner not punish car for letting a unlicence boy to drive his or her car

[Kopites]

Ban for driving 3 years ? Something not right here. Does it mean after 3 years he can go take theory and practical test for driving license?

[Jchuacl]

We don't have a justice system but a legal system here, so don't expect too much on "justice"

[Heng51]

6 weeks? He could have potentially caused someone to die with his rash acts...
