KUALA LUMPUR: A 32-year-old man was sentenced to 30 days in prison by the magistrates’ court today after pleading guilty to reckless driving.
K Darmaraju was charged under Section 42(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 after sideswiping a motorcycle carrying a middle-aged couple on the PLUS Highway last Saturday.
He was also fined RM12,000.
Magistrate Khairunnisak Hassni ordered Darmaraju to serve six months in prison if he did not pay the fine.
depending on how the Investigation officer write the report....if no element of criminal found, driver plead guilty then nothing the judge can do what...
honestly the sentence is pretty low. So if I bang and then ask someone to admit for me saying they loan my car, thats roughly the sentence they will be getting.
It was reported that a motorcyclist and his wife were injured after being thrown off their motorcycle when a pickup truck struck them on the North-South Expressway, an incident that has since gone viral on social media.
You can always say “I heard a sound and I thought he hit me.” Besides, many people amend reports always.
I’m just clueless why he got away so easily. Thats why I said, mob justice for these kind if cases is better. The law always looks at an accident as “unintentional”.
What the fuck? If it’s really an accident then ok la, but this is a clear cut fucking public endangerment while acting with full intention.
Did the judge/panels even see the videos?! Racing in a piece of shit 4x4 that is NOT build for any sort of driving nor high speed braking by itself should already be an attempted murder.
Regardless of the potential appeal by the prosecutor, it's still baffling how low the initial punishment was dished out, taking into consideration *alleged* records of him giving fake reports, huge public interest-dissatisfaction, and the damage caused to victims
If this is not handled properly, i have a bad feeling about what comes next. This could just spell another round of low confidence in judicial rulings (though it's justified in papers, it does not represent the public sentiments, therefore the conflicts, and trust deficit in the law), it usually results in ugly altercations. Next time any accidents happen, public might act out of rashness and lash out at the potential offenders before they get a 'saving chance' from the law.
Have we not learned from the temple issues that brewed into all out hatred in fagbook and deeply entrenched into the minds of the public everytime they sees a temple by the roadside.

They should add that Milo is their family staple food. Maybe can get lower.

MORE TO COME
Wtf, the case should be classified to voluntary manslaughter
should also include to foot the victim bill for the rest of his life as part of punishment. 30 days for putting the victim into coma and possible vege state is no joke.
That’s the e problem with our laws. An accident is an accident even if it is due to reckless driving. I think its best to bring a civil case against the driver.
if you consider this case carefully… now all car drivers who cause similar accidents, would be too scared to stop and help… because mob assault will be more dangerous!.. no hit and run considered, no license gantung, (evidence of speeding)?, guess, it’s now a civil matter for the motorcyclist to consider..
that is why need to grab the deal fast when you see it
It's an interesting point of law if this falls under double jeopordy or not. Maybe a lawyer can answer.
In UK there was this case in which a woman was burned but survived. Guy got jail time of course. But much much later she died and the guy got charged again for murder and sentenced for longer.

Not sure this amount given to the persons hit by the guy
This is state vs the driver
Not injured couple vs driver
Again, I'm talking about expenses incurred by the hospital treating the 2. Fine goes to gomen because gomen is the prosecutor, but public hospital subsidized by gomen.
DPP can re-charge to involuntary manslaughter if the victim dies later.
And after reading further in Malaysia, double jeopardy can also happen if the higher courts overrule the lower courts. Since this is magistrate court, yeah law still have still a ways to go.

Her twt went private not long after. Probably the perp's family had already kautim with the authorities and reached a settlement with the victims involved including her brother. So much for fighting till the end. Lol
The driver involved is unemployed/working freelance according to the pickup owner so there's hardly anything to look forward to. Best bet is to go after the vehicle owner himself but that's gonna be a long arduous journey not everyone can stomach.
I am so disappointed, reckless driving until cause a couple to be badly injured, but get 30 days only and RM12,000, which he can afford to pay since they own 4x4.
Cos he pleaded guilty right from the start so the case did not go to trial. The magistrate could only sentence him based on what's allotted under the act he was charged with, and that too after considering all the mitigating factors (which include saving the court's time)
Had he claimed trial, It will probably take many more months or even years before the case goes to trial and only then can prosecution present its case to the court including the video evidence submitted.
I doubt the judge would go easy on the guy had she been able to get a better picture of what actually transpired.

Someone should do a probono and help victim to sue him
Yeah, his driving license should be revoked permanently at least if the sentences are light.

yes correct, he got charged under S.42, not S.41, because victims not dead yet
S.41 - menyebabkan kematian kerana memandu melulu/membahaya S.42 - memandu secara melulu dan membahayakan
depending on how the Investigation officer write the report....if no element of criminal found, driver plead guilty then nothing the judge can do what...
No intention to kill, 1st time offender, anak saya baek orang..dll., court also want to close case. Victim can sue later at civil court for 1mil.
So now those haters nvr apologize to the owner of Navara?

Repeat offender, different. Plus kena tangkap with evidence instead of serah diri. (Different)
why news didnt put full name ? so next time anyone(future employer, loan officer, authority, etc) can search for his offends here as internet never forget.
even on the 1st world country - the T20 is playing dirty by letting in all those immigrants to backstab the m40 b40.
can you imagine then this shithole 3rd world country? deiii
mafia, ngo, minister, court, politician, police, yellow umbrella, all sleep on the same bed. well maybe some civil war between themselves now and then.
b40 m40 is all just a pawn in this life. look up edisi siasat la gais.
hence i really cannot fathom why the b40 dont realise this yet and see beyond colour?

It's a long shot but I am not sure if that can be done onot.
Since you brought it up, bro I am currently unemployed and doing some freelance shit, will you lend me your 4x4 onot so that I can race on public road ?
Ada ke unemployed in their right frame of mind will make a police report claiming ini "pickup saya" ? Ini semua tak masuk Akai punya cerita.
Kabel kuat as shit.

Imo, there should be an overhaul with the system to stop loopholes like this from preventing a case from being heard in court. All cases especially ones involving the lives of others should go to trial so that punishment meted out fits the crime.
Also, we should have a similar law to muricans, whereby a gun owner could be held accountable if their weapon is misused. Here, maybe charge the vehicle owner too if their vehicle is being misused by another party. Heck, even lyn does the same by penalising the person whose invite code was being misused.

S.41 - menyebabkan kematian kerana memandu melulu/membahaya S.42 - memandu secara melulu dan membahayakan
That's the problem. So cannot charge him again since case closed?
Reminds of tvb when polis says, you will be in big trouble if victim die in hospital. Sure under the advice to fast fast plead guilty and sentence so that won't kena charge again.
A police report isn’t even admissible in court! If you don’t know that, how are you ever going to make it as a 大佬 or 犯罪策劃者? This guy knows he’s cooked. No cards in hand and if he pleads not guilty and drags it to trial, he’s just digging his grave deeper.

thats the sad truth about accident law in malaysia ..
i hope some good lawyer will help the victim get the most from civil lawsuit against that sohai driver.
I am not sure but it maybe in the lawyers code & ethics not to solicit for business by offering their services but it is best that the victim approaches a law firm first. If the victim doesn't know of anyone, I can help. However I remember reading an article in which the victims daughter mentioned that she would leave it to the police instead.

he got off easy, the punishment should reflect the severity of the case, look at the way he drove and how he ran away like nothing happened after the accident. this is a person that'll do it again if let loose.
ARE WE SURE THIS IS NOT JUST A SCAPEGOAT?????

the parents are probably well educated probably wealthy, they can drive high power bike to makan angin, i'm sure they know a few lawyers.

Getting lawyer to go against developer is a nightmare already and this case appears like it's been a setup, so whether the any lawyer is willing to be engage is another thing. Someone who is willing to go against the grain would surely help. What is lacking now is eyewitness to this case. No doubt the 4x4 can't be stopped but if someone had actually tailed the 4x4 from the time of the accident, surely this would be interesting as hell if the eyewitness accounts differs completely on what's recorded by the court

Absolutely agree, that sob will definately do it again since can get away so easily plus it's damn cheap too !!!
kid with modified basikal nyamuk riding at opposite direction is not legal road user
macha want protek also use a bit of logic
Legal or not, doesn't retract from the fact that the perps drove dangerously. You could replace the kids with a car and they will still get hit. Same as this. Replace the bikes with something else and that something else will kena also.

that is scenario building and court don't work like that
you can only present 'fact' not your assumption because like hot air and fart, it mean nothing
Its like vacation for him lah. free food, stay and then come out.
You sure vacation? Got criminal record already, mahu keja mana next time? Watson’s? Brother hire? Itu pun if he survives prison, no former experience masuk lokap/prison is virgin, gonna be someone’s bitch while most Ms will target him and pulis pon need punching bag. Already from past, Indians dun fare well in prison unless have geng protection.
well, you might no see this because the need to protex
Where got protect? I also want shitty drivers get punished heavily but as you can see here and before, mow down bunch of kids got away scots free in the end. Here also only got 1 month and a paltry fine.

Do you even understand what you're typing unker? Do you even understand what we are arguing?
I agree with other posters Malaysia are real lenient when it comes to vehicular accident punishments and as pointed out, both this case and the case I've mentioned resulted in deaths/grave injuries caused by shitty drivers yet got off with light sentence je.
But you seem like you're the one trying to protex something because you're really vehement that in that other case, the perp really did nothing wrong despite even more severe consequences.
Just because the other case is just some poor young lady yet this case is a dude issit? Maybe the race also you're protecting? Protek much?

one racing like pundek on the road and run down motobike
one driving on road like normal and stupid bike appear out of nowhere in opposite direction

This is reality.
The Range Rover case has gone with the wind.
Even the victim family decided to retract the case.
Punishment is to keep pipit in range so they don’t riot or what not.
Same concept where people say money can’t buy happiness.
