|October 23, 2025
An elderly man without a valid driving licence drove his girlfriend's car without her permission and crashed the vehicle after stepping on the wrong pedal.
On Oct 22, Loh Chun Meng, 82, was sentenced to two weeks' jail, fined $2,000 and banned from driving for two years.
He pleaded guilty to three charges — driving without a valid licence, driving without insurance and driving without due care and attention.
A fourth charge for taking away a vehicle without the owner's consent was taken into consideration for sentencing.
Court documents stated that Loh's driving licence had expired on Nov 3, 1995.
In October 2023, he stayed at his girlfriend's home in Ang Mo Kio Avenue 3 and woke up the next day feeling pain in his knees.
