Man pleads guilty to driving at speeds of up to 221kmh during group joyride
The prosecutor said the most egregious instance of speeding was when Jared-Kane Goh entered a lane at 89kmh to 109kmh in a 50kmh zone.
Jared-Kane Goh, 26, admitted to speeding at up to 221kmh during a group joyride in Singapore on October 27, 2024. The prosecutor alleged the most severe speeding occurred when Goh accelerated from 89kmh to 109kmh in a 50kmh zone. The high-speed pursuit, involving five other vehicles, resulted in two collisions. Goh's reckless driving caused debris to fly across lanes, leading to another vehicle's rear-end collision.
Goh required medical attention for neck and headache injuries, and was later discharged with medical leave. The court heard that Goh's dangerous and reckless conduct demonstrated a disregard for traffic rules, with speeds approaching double the legal limit. The prosecutor sought three-and-a-half to five months in jail and a three-to-four-year driving ban. Goh will return to court on September 14 for mitigation and sentencing.
