      Hmm... been thinking of the statement of facts....

       

      Anybody out there know if police said there is a witness to the accident, will the witness statement be stated on the statement of facts? Else how do we know if police is telling the truth or not?

      I am pumping Shell 98 now for Honda Civic. Have been thinking of changing to Esso.

       

      1) Is it advisable to change petrol from one company to another?

      2) Shell petrol is better or Esso?

      According to police, the witness is a driver behind me. However on the statement of facts, there was no indication that there was a witness sighting the whole incident. I am also not very sure if it is true or not....

      Anyway,. its over lah.... I just want to move on...smile.png

      Hi all,

      I just attended court for my case today. Got 2.5K fine as 6 months suspension.....

      Teaches me a good lesson to be careful on the roads.Maybe I will give up driving as I cannot risk getting into another accident and go to jail next time. My future will be ruined!

      Drivers out there... if you need to drive, do be very careful!

      I remembered seeing a green light...but the road was very  long and there was about 2  overhead lights ahead of me....TP said I may have mistaken the green light to be the next traffic light ahead rather than the traffic light I was at... Sometimes happen when the road is long and there are more than one overhead traffic light... Too many colours and it was at night too...

      Think bad luck... but luckily no one was injured... else I will be feel so bad....

      Thanks Elysium.

      I think so too.... Anyway like you said, if there is a witness who saw me cross the red light, then maybe I really did though it was not intentional.

       

      I will probably plead guilty and ask for leniency.....

       

      Got to drive carefully everyone! For your sake as well as other road users

       

      Thanks for all the advice.

      Hi BrUtUs,

       

      Yes, I was going straight and the van was turning right.....

      IO told me usually lighter sentence if I plead guilty.... They say they have a witness and normally their statement is pretty strong....

       

      I am in a dilemma....

      Hi all,

       

      I got into an accident late last year and recently got a summon to court for hearing. Apparently, TP found a witness for the accident. Details of accident.

       

      1) Happened at T junction

      2) My car and a van collided

      3) No injury to the other driver and slight damage to the side of the van

      4) My car badly damaged as it hit the pavement and the lamp post

      5) I suffered minor injuries and was transported to hospital. Discharged in 2 hrs

       

      According to TP, there was a witness who saw that I crossed the red light. I was not speeding but I could have mistakenly saw the green light at a traffic light ahead of the traffic light I was at and crossed the red light. The charge is dangerous driving.

       

      Advice needed:

      - What will be the most likely penalty for me?

      - I am considered a new driver. The date of accident was 2 weeks after my 1st year of getting my licence and less than 1 year after I bought my car. Does this play a part in judging?

      - I have never committed any offence before the accident for speeding or crossing red light. Does this help?

      - Are there any tips for me to plead for leniency?

       

      I am still quite traumatized with this accident even though no one was injured except myself.....Seriously thinking of giving up on driving.....
