Jail for private-hire driver who drove car into condo pool - theold - 22-09-2023
He arrived at the entrance of the condominium at around 9pm, and a security officer told him to proceed to a junction and make a right turn.
Instead of complying, Chean drove past the junction, prompting his passenger to ask him why he did so.
He replied that he “knew the way” before turning onto a tiled pedestrian walkway and running over some potted plants.
He continued to drive along the walkway and stopped his car when a second security officer approached the vehicle.
The officer told Chean to reverse the car onto a nearby road after telling him vehicles were not allowed in the area and that the driver was also near a swimming pool.
“(The officer told him) that he was driving towards the swimming pool. The accused stated that it was rainwater and not the swimming pool.”
Chean continued driving the vehicle and stopped only when its front tyres entered the swimming pool, which was 0.5m deep.

Old people are like that. No matter how you explain, one-ear-in, one-ear-out. Up to a certain age, it is impossible to change even if they fall down hard.

My guess is that he used to work for Duck Tours, so he headed in the direction of water by instinct. LOL!

Not all elderly people are as stubborn as Chean Tuck Heng, but this sure provides ammo for ageists to discriminate against drivers aged above 65 like him.
