A Maserati driver-
@ForgetMeNot44: Wait, that sounds familiar…
Yes, a Maserati driver-
@ForgetMeNot44: Wait, there was a Maserati driver who dragged a Traffic Police officer for 124 metres back in 2017?
Yes, that Maserati driver-
@ForgetMeNot44: Ah, he was such a nice young man. His name was…Kelvin, I believe.
GODDAMNIT. Will you let me finish?!
@ForgetMeNot44: So rude. I won’t forget this.
…Trust me, you will.
The infamous Maserati driver that everybody knows has been sentenced today (28 Jul 2020).
Here’s what the driver, Lee Cheng Yan, got:
- 55 months in prison (4 years 7 months)
- A $3,700 fine
- A lifetime driving ban
The judge who sentenced Lee said that his offences “warranted a retributive and deterrent sentence”.
What He Did:
If you’re wondering why he was given such a harsh sentence and what exactly he did, here’s a short refresher:
As our dearest ForgetMeNot44 has said, Lee was the Maserati driver who dragged a police officer for 124 metres along the road while driving at 79 to 84kmph.
On Nov 2017, Staff Sergeant Khairulanwar Abd Kahar spotted Lee driving without wearing his seatbelt.
He signalled for Lee to stop but he only came to a stop at a red light.
SSG Khairulanwar parked his motorcycle in front of Lee’s car and walked towards the driver seat and Lee wound down his window.
Unfortunately, when the light turned green, Lee reversed and took off with SSG Khairulanwar still stuck to his car.
The TP officer was dragged for 124 metres before he managed to drop away from the car.
