Unlicensed driver jailed and banned for fatal accident

A young woman who caused the death of an elderly pedestrian when she lost control of her car in Bukit Batok in 2011 was on Wednesday jailed a total of four months and banned from driving for 10 years.

Candy Siow Pei Shan, 23, had admitted to causing the death of Mr Tan Son Seng, 70, at the signalised cross-junction of Bukit Batok East Avenue 3 and Bukit Batok East Avenue 4 on Feb 12, 2011.

She had also admitted to driving the car without insurance coverage and without a licence that morning.

The court heard that Siow, a waitress, had been drinking brandy with her boyfriend at her workplace, Club Axchange, in Tanjong Pagar, and subsequently drank some more brandy and beer at a club in the Esplanade.
