Emilio Alphonso Gonzales dozed off while he was driving along Bukit Timah Road, causing the car to mount a kerb.After a night of drinking with friends to celebrate their last day of reservist, a man borrowed his uncle’s car and headed back to camp.
He pleaded guilty to two charges – one for driving without due care and attention, and another for drink driving. After his last drink at about 4am, he took a taxi alone to his uncle’s house at Lim Tai See Walk in Bukit Timah and had a shower. He then drove his uncle’s car at about 6am, planning to head to Nee Soon Camp for his last day of reservist.
A blood test showed that he had 136 mg of alcohol in every 100 mg of blood, which is above the legal limit of 80 mg.
