IN A significant ruling, the High Court has quashed the drink driving conviction of a motorist found sleeping in his parked car on an expressway shoulder - even though his breath alcohol level was above the legal limit.
Ruling that, at best, the driver was guilty of being intoxicated while in control of a vehicle on a road, but not driving it, Justice Lee Seiu Kin ordered that he be charged with a less serious offence.
The written grounds for the judge's decision in the case of R. Subramaniam, 55, were published on Wednesday.
