SINGAPORE – A 72-year-old owner of an electronics firm had allegedly consumed alcohol shortly before she drove a car and failed to stop at two red lights in the Teban Gardens area in Jurong East.
She was allegedly driving along Teban Gardens Road towards West Coast Road shortly before midnight on Aug 3 when she failed to stop at two red light signals near Hasanah Mosque. The police added: “Driving under the influence of alcohol is an extremely dangerous and irresponsible act. All motorists are reminded to abide by traffic rules to keep the roads safe for everyone.
First-time offenders convicted of drink driving can now be jailed for up to a year and fined up to $10,000 – double the previous maximum imprisonment term and fine.
