Monica Cheng's careless driving caused cars behind her to brake abruptly or slow down.
SINGAPORE: A woman who did not have a driving licence decided to drive her husband's rental car while he was sleeping.She was caught after a traffic police officer saw her car swerving across lanes and forcing cars behind her to brake or slow down.
Separately, Cheng also admitted to one count of stealing S$70.40 worth of items from Watsons at Northpoint City in 2021. "He also observed that the accused did not have proper control over her car, was driving unsteadily, and that her manner of driving was causing the cars behind her to brake abruptly or slow down to avoid a collision," Deputy Public Prosecutor Stephanie Koh told the court.The traffic police officer rode alongside Cheng's car and saw that she had a child in the front passenger seat.
As Cheng showed no sign of slowing down, the officer rode to the right of her car so that Cheng had to keep to the leftmost lane and exit the CTE at Balestier Road, said Ms Koh. The traffic police officer found Cheng's speech slurred and her gait unsteady. Cheng claimed to be unwell and said she was recently discharged from the hospital but could not explain her illness.
