District Judge Low Wee Ping also banned Gabriel Lim Yong Han, 21, from driving for 12 months.

Lim, who pleaded guilty, was driving his father's lorry which had encroached into the path of a taxi when he unlawfully drove across two double white lines from a slip road of Bishan Street 11 into Braddell Road on Dec 27, 2008.

The collision resulted in the death of rear seat passenger Tan Sheng Ping, 28, an accountant. LINK
