A technician was fined $6,000 and banned from driving all vehicles for three years on Tuesday for causing the death of a motorcyclist through his negligence.
Lee Kong Guan, 29, a Malaysian, admitted to driving a van along Bukit Timah Expressway (BKE) on March 30, 2011, when he failed to keep a proper lookout while changing lanes.
He had signalled to change from the second to the extreme right lane of BKE when he encroached into the path of Malaysian Aidi Ridzwan Abu Bakar, 23, a labourer, at about 6.45pm.
The motorcycle rammed into the back of Lee's van. Both rider and pillion were flung off the machine.
