Came across this news about the accident on 01/05/11 that killed a passenger, a biking enthusiast who got killed when hitching a ride from his friend's lorry. The culprit driver behaved rowdily even when visibly under alcohol intoxication.

Further search revealed he came from a well-to-do background, and some forumeers who claimed to know him had passed some remarks about his personality; which was on the unpleasant side.

No news about the verdict yet, but clearly he was already under a chargeable traffic offence of drink driving. Even his girlfriend passenger is intoxicated. Hopefully, justice can be done for this case, unlike Cleopetra who got away with a fine even for hitting a cyclist on the road, and yet not being arrested on the night itself, where there's a likelihood that she drove under the same situation.

Sometimes I wonder if the family of this culprit driver had neglected proper upbringing, causing him to become a society nuisance?

There are certainly a number of questions on the handling of offenders. Will they be given a lighter penalty based on the social status of their family / relatives?
