High Profile Accident
I am not sure this happened yesterday or a couple of days ago but one of SG’s popular male actor was in an accident involving his Merc & another motorbike.
Why is this high profile?
Cos the actor was D.U.I. aka under the influence of alcohol.
Driving Under the Influence of alcohol or an illicit
substance - any substance, licit or illicit, if it impairs the driving
function
www.addiction-rehabilitation.com/glossary.html
A third or subsequent DUI (over .1% alcohol) is a
felony. DUI is driving under the influence, not necessarily "drunk". A
person who is DUI and negligently kills or seriously injures someone is
guilty of the felony of "aggravated DUI".

So? Some may ask…
The actor did not stop after the accident. If I am not wrong, he was chased by someone 500m before he actually stopped.
I am just wondering 1st of all… What is he gonna say??
1. I just has 1 glass of wine / beer… (Well it’s happened before)
2. I did not know I hit someone.
Is this acceptable?
DUI is one thing, but a possible Hit & Run?
Collision between a motor vehicle and another motor
vehicle, object or pedestrian, where the driver of the vehicle leaves
the scene of the accident without identifying himself/herself
www.lombard.ca/Glossary.htm
Hit and run is the act of hitting an object, such as a
pedestrian, parked car, or mailbox, with a vehicle and immediately
leaving the location of the incident. This act is considered illegal in
some places. The usual reason for the leaving of the scene is to evade
capture by the police, avoid exchanging insurance information, or
otherwise escape punishment.

DUI over the years has become a major offence in SG… Also since the last couple of other "high profile cases"…
I am really interested to see what is gonna happen to him.
1. For DUI
2. For hit & run
To see how "Fair" our country is to bikers.
