  "summary": "Former Hong Kong lawmaker William Wong, 66, has been given two months to consider his plea on four traffic offences. The charges relate to an incident on June 29 at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, where Wong allegedly hit two parked cars, left the scene, and failed a breathalyser test.\n\nWong has been charged with driving with alcohol concentration above the prescribed limit, dangerous driving, failing to stop after an accident, and failing to report an accident involving damage, according to the Hong Kong Free Press.\n\nWong's defence lawyer, Paul Tse Wai-chun, sought a nine-week adjournment to allow time for legal advice, resulting in a two-month extension of his bail, as reported by the South China Morning Post.",
