By Elena Chong

A TAXI driver was charged on Thursday with acting rashly by reversing his vehicle twice to hit the bonnet of a car.
Chong Pak Fatt, 51, is said to have endangered the personal safety of others by reversing his cab which hit the car of Mr Chan Yong Hwa along Ang Mo Kio Avenue 3 at about 9.50pm on May 15.

The prosecution asked for a week's adjournment. Bail of $5,000 was set.

Chong will be back in court on June 26.

If convicted, he faces a jail term of up to six months or a fine of up to $2,500 or both.
