When a Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) captain was sentenced for speeding at 195km/h on May 8, he was not worried about the one-year driving disqualification.

 

Instead, Yang Chee Hwa wanted the district court to lower his maximum $1,000 fine, because it would have an adverse effect on his promotion prospects and performance bonuses.

 

But in the judgment released this week, District Judge John Ng said Yang should have to bear the consequences of his irresponsible act.

 

He said: "I could not justifiably order him to pay a fine of $999 for him to avoid the collateral consequences of his conviction and sentence. The maximum fine and one-year disqualification are also to serve as a general deterrence to other speedsters."

errrrrr............ that's not his top speed lar, only 195km/h .... [sweatdrop]

 

his top speed is 1450 ~ 1650 km/h or 1.5 march (1 1/2 time the speed of sound), depending on which model he is in ... [sly]

Orbi, he dare to speed so fast, he should bear the consequences and good work for judge to stick to his stand not to reduce to less than 1k fine. If not I cannot imagine those in SAF or whoever others would think " Ai Ya, nevermind one la, caught just pay fine lor " . So now he feel the pain and to show clear signal to others that want speed so high speed can, but once caught no argue. Just too bad!!

look like a heli pilot.....must be sad not able to fly a jet.....and tried to use his car as a jet... [laugh]

 

From the description of the photo, he looks like a navigator for F16. Not sure if they are trained to fly the plane as well.

That's what I thought too...

Even if his car is capable of doing 195Km/h, he would still need a very long and clear road to do that. [:/]

Pilots always can't diff the land speed and air speed.

Ego has carried him above the rest

What to do??... Even the airforce is promoting this...Above All.. :D
