PETALING JAYA: The Kuala Lumpur magistrates’ court today sentenced a 32-year-old man to 30 days behind bars after he admitted to driving recklessly.
K. Darmaraju entered a guilty plea to charges under Section 42(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 following an incident where he sideswiped a motorcycle with a middle-aged couple aboard on the PLUS Highway last Saturday.
In addition to jail time, the court imposed a RM12,000 fine on Darmaraju.
Magistrate Khairunnisak Hassni ruled that the defendant would face six months’ imprisonment if he failed to pay the fine, according to Free Malaysia Today (FMT).
