S’porean man, 31, hits car while licence suspended, shows police screenshot of another man's licence, gets caught
He was also disqualified from holding all classes of driving licenses for five years.
A 31-year-old Singaporean man named Cheong Melvin was caught driving while his license was suspended, colliding with another vehicle, and deceiving police officers. He pleaded guilty to six out of eight charges and was sentenced to 13 weeks in jail, a fine of S$3,400, and a five-year disqualification from holding any driving license.
Cheong had abandoned a vehicle after a crash on the expressway and showed a screenshot of someone else's driving license to police. He had a previous conviction for drunk driving in November 2023, which led to a 24-month disqualification from holding any driving licenses.
