The 46-year-old also faces further traffic charges and is pending trial for them.
SINGAPORE: The High Court on Wednesday increased the jail term of a driver and imposed a nine-month driving ban after he appealed for a fine or lower jail term.
Haleem, a property agent, was driving his BMW along Bukit Timah Expressway towards his home at Hillview Rise on the early morning of Feb 1, 2020.The victim sounded his horn and the pair had a verbal exchange before alighting near Haleem’s home. Dissatisfied, Haleem appealed, saying the prosecution had not proven that he had caused hurt to the victim.Justice Vincent Hoong, who heard the appeal, said this was a road rage case and the district judge had not sufficiently taken into account Haleem’s conduct post-offence.
Haleem was also aggressive throughout the one-sided assault, had a history of non-compliance with traffic regulations and did not acknowledge his guilt.
