Careless driving(不小心駕駛) |
------------------------
Reasons for Sentence
------------------------
1. Mr Singh, please stand up.
2. I am not going to repeat the facts. This is a case of careless driving with serious consequence. The victim was seriously injured as a result, so I am considering imposing a fine plus a period of disqualification.
3. I understand that you have expressly intended to plead guilty to careless driving. That should be a credit.
4. I am considering a fine of $3,000 plus a period of disqualification, which shall be 2 months. You shall not drive any vehicle in the future 2 months from today and, first of all, you have $5,000 cash.
5. I am just given your blue traffic record, which contained two records for fine - driving a motor cycle or motor tricycle without the lamps lighted...
(Discussion between court and prosecuting counsel re tendering of traffic record)
6. ...failing to comply with road markings, which again is a fine, $450 - which has no relevance to our present case.
7. I continue with the fine. You have $5,000 cash bail. I understand you agree to deduct from your bail for your fine.
