A couple convicted of allowing their 18-month-old son to steer a car must take a driver training course on top of the community service to which they were sentenced last week.
Magistrate Rickie Chan Kam-cheong added the requirement yesterday in Kwun Tong Court.
Property agent Keith Yu Cho-kwong, 32, had pleaded guilty to dangerous driving, and his wife Ng Lai-wa, 27, admitted aiding and abetting the offence on August 1.
The couple were ordered to do 160 hours of community service and had their driving licences suspended for six months. Now, they must also take a driver training course before their licences can be returned.
Chan said last week the offence was serious and the court had to send out a 'clear signal' to the public such behaviour would not be tolerated.
Ng filmed a video lasting a minute and 50 seconds showing the child sitting on Yu's lap, steering a BMW. Police investigated after the video was posted on Facebook and YouTube, where it was widely viewed.
