A driver with a bad traffic record has been jailed and disqualified from driving after he admitted killing a woman in a car crash.
Wong Chi-fung, 29, was sentenced to 22 months and two weeks in jail yesterday after he pleaded guilty in the District Court to four charges. He was also disqualified from driving for seven years.
In sentencing, Deputy Judge Josiah Lam Wai-kuen noted Wong had chalked up a long list of traffic offences, incurring fixed-penalty tickets and a criminal record.
He said Wong's track record showed 'he has a very bad driving history, which constitutes an aggravating factor in the case'.
'These accumulated offences are flagrant violations of the law. Wong has repeatedly breached the order of disqualification and he has not corrected himself.'
Wong had racked up 15 criminal offences, including five driving convictions which had already resulted in him being disqualified from driving until April 2010.
