SINGAPORE - An engineer who drove against the flow of traffic on the Ayer Rajah Expressway for about 2km was given a two-year mandatory treatment order on Friday after the High Court allowed his appeal against his original sentence of four weeks' jail.In allowing Ng's appeal, Justice Aedit Abdullah said the district judge who imposed the jail term last year erred in finding that rehabilitation was not the dominant sentencing principle in the case.
Ng then made a U-turn and drove on the rightmost lane against the flow of traffic for two minutes, averaging a speed of 50kmh. At least three vehicles had to switch lanes to avoid a collision. After he pleaded guilty to dangerous driving, he was assessed by the Institute of Mental Health to be suffering from major depressive disorder at the time of the offence. The IMH psychiatrist recommended a two-year MTO.
