Lexus driver bang cyclist, drag bycycle for 2km, fine $2500..


This is ridiculous. I have totally no faith in our legal system anymore.
 

Is there anything we can do?

So this is end of our legal process? ****!
 

I suppose law works like this, whoever argues the best, wins. If you fail to object the defence, then the defence is not wrong. If I kill someone intentionally and say I thought it was a mannequin and the prosecution does not object that, then I am not wrong to kill someone.

why is our public prosecutor sooo bad then???

where is all our tax payers money gone? Does it mean if you are rich and hire a better lawyer you can get off with $2400 for hit and run???

Then where is the deterent in our laws? does it mean lexus drivers can knock people down and drive away? What is $2400 to them...
 

I told ya, even if I'm the judge, I would have believed her, cos she is a woman, and that's how most of them drive.;)

The appeal is not about the accident but how she drove away without giving aid, ie hit and run. I think the punishment for hit and run must be very high. Accident sometimes its not intentional but due to poor driving skills but hit and run...
 

simply jail her. Best jail her for life. For god sake.

In that case you should ban all females from driving, no? Otherwise one day some reckless driver will run you down and she's gonna get away with a 2.5k fine while you suck thumb in the hospital.

the cyclist should count himself lucky the lady dint go after him for damages caused to her Lexus.

the cyclist should count himself lucky the lady didnt drag him to death...
 

In her mitigation, Wong said that she heard some sounds at the rear but because the sound-proofing of the Lexus was so good, she thought that the sounds were caused by the tree branch.

Woohooo! next time I can go on a rampage in a Lexus and plea innocent because I couldn't see what I hit nor hear what I am dragging behind!


In sentencing Wong in August, the District Judge had said it was possible that the shadows from the canopy of trees would have had an impact on Wong's line of sight, resulting in her mistaken assumption about the "object" that struck her windscreen.

Wong had said that she was travelling at 60kmh at the time.

If she is really THAT blind, she ought to be barred from driving permanently because she IS a road hazard.

If she is really THAT DUMB, she ought to be taken off the road
 

Such a light sentence... should at least jail a week or two, pay the guy's medical fees
 

here, this goes beyond cycling on the road with other vehicle users. the cyclist was also cycling in the middle of the road. i think anyone here who has driven in singapore would agree with me that that's a bad idea from anyone's point of view. :dunno:

Actually, if the cyclist was really cycling in the middle of the road, the driver should have seen him correct?

"The impact caused the cyclist, Mr Muhammad Asri Aris, 19, to be flung onto the windscreen before landing on the left side of the road. The windscreen was cracked as a result.

Wong heard a bang and looked in that direction." - CNA

Perhaps one of her ears were not as efficient as the other, and as such she perceived the sound to be coming from one side, not the front (despite the cyclist smashing on her windscreen)

But the whole thing is ridiculous. Next we'll see people waving the tree branch/soundproof defence. But luckily the gang youths haven't learned this trick from Cleopatra, otherwise we'll see road rages everywhere, and they will just get off with a simple fine.
