KILLED A MAN.
FOUR MONTHS JAILTIME.
A security officer was jailed for four months and banned from driving for five years on Friday for causing death by dangerous driving.

Johnny Sim Swee Leng, 46, had pleaded guilty to causing the death of motorcyclist Owyong Tak Sung, 54, along the Kallang Paya Lebar Expressway (KPE) on Dec 9, 2009.

Court documents said he made multiple lane changes at 85 to 90kmh without signalling while travelling on the slip road from the Tampines Expressway into the KPE that morning.

After filtering straight into the right most lane of the KPE, he overtook Owyong's motorcycle and the front left of his car side-swiped the machine causing the rider to wobble. He then accelerated further causing the left wing mirror of his car to hit Owyong.
