At 7am on May 1st, Remus Choy drove his black sports car on Sassoon Road and suddenly lost control of the car. His car went up on the pedestrian road, crashed into the postal mailbox and the fire hydrant, but still did not stop and continued driving for about 200 meters before stopping. Although Remus only injured his arm, and refused to be sent to the hospital, the police performed an alcohol breath test on him and found he was 22mg over the legal limit. In 100ml, he breathed out 82mg of alcohol. Later, at the police station he was given a breathalyzer and the reading was still 66mg of alcohol. Remus was charged for drinking and driving and reckless driving. Yesterday at 9:25am, Remus appeared in court accompanied by his older brother Calvin Choy and his wife, assistant and lawyer in a 7-seater van. In a black suit and standing at a very straight posture, Remus walked into the courtroom. At the hearing, the Judge followed up closely to Remus' crashing his car into the mailbox and still did not stop the car, but continued driving 200 meters before stopping. Remus' lawyer, expressed Remus just stepped on the wrong petal and stressed there was no evidence that the defendant deliberately didn't stop the car. For the plead, the lawyer stated Remus has 23 years of driving experience and has had a good record all along, never had there been an accident. Also, he is warmhearted in public service (charity). Also, Remus just got a new car and was not familiar with controlling it that caused the accident. Remus plead guilty, but the judge said the case is more serious than an average drinking and driving case. The judge ordered him to first do community service and report back. The next hearing will be held on June 24th. During this time, he will continue to be on HK$5,000 bail. When Remus and his group were leaving the courtroom, he remained for another hour before he was able to get bailed out. He walked out of the courtroom and was asked by reporters of his current feeling. He smiled: "Thanks!" Then he left with his Calvin and his wife. Source: Oriental Daily
^ dam, i'm a fan of grasshoppers but this is a bad influence, especially from an artist........ people should complain about situations like this and not dramas..........
Complaining about what..? Remus made the choice to drink & drive, and he got charged as suppose to. Celebrity are still citizens, police force shouldn't be bias towards them.
^complain about artists like this. This is more of a bad influences than dramas. i have to disagree wit u. Police should be bias towards artists because of the fact that they are CELEBRITIES. People look up to them, and they are within the spotlight. This reckless driving is really sad, and fortunately, there werent any people getting hurt in this incident.
