Darthrevan Supercharged October 27, 2011 Share October 27, 2011 An engineer who struck a motorist on the head with a metal pole was jailed for four weeks and banned from driving for 12 months on Thursday. Cheong Lean Wai, 32, had admitted in August this year to hitting Mr Phua Kwee Meng on the head with a metal pole, causing a 5cm bruise on the head and a 1cm cut near a petrol station along Woodlands Ave 1 on Aug 17 last year. The court heard that Cheong had changed lanes while driving his pregnant wife home along Seletar Expressway. Mr Phua, 42, who was driving behind, tail-gated him and high-beamed his headlamps. He eventually overtook Cheong. Source: http://www.straitstimes.com/BreakingNews/S...ory_727708.html ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He eventually overtook Cheong. Both exited the expressway and eventually stopped their vehicles alongside each other at Woodlands Ave 1. Cheong got out of his car with a 42cm-long pole and struck the self-employed man during a dispute. He stopped when he saw the victim bleeding from the wound on his head. Cheong could have been jailed for up to two years and/or fined up to $5,000 for voluntarily causing hurt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this serve to tell us that its ok to tailgate and highbeam others? Something must have happened along the way to cause the husband of a pregnant woman snap and lash out. If someone can CSI Phua, probably we should all tailgate and highbeam him and let him taste his medicine. Edited October 27, 2011 by Shicyj Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
