Drink Driving!!!

SINGAPORE : Former television host Benedict Goh on Wednesday became the latest celebrity to be charged in court with drink-driving, capping a week that has seen the actions of inebriated drivers make the headlines. Goh, best known for his stint as host of game show "The Pyramid Game", faces four charges arising from two separate incidents. In the early hours of February 10 this year, the 38-year-old was driving along the Ayer Rajah Expressway, in the direction of Tuas, when he collided with a stationary car that had been involved in another accident. A breathalyser test showed the alcohol level in Goh's system was over the legal limit.

He was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol and driving without due care. In another incident on February 18, 2004, Goh was found at about 6am by police officers in the driver's seat of his car, which was stopped along Lorong 1, Toa Payoh. Again, he failed a breathalyser test. Goh allegedly told the police that someone else had been at the wheel of the car. He was charged with being found unfit to drive a vehicle and with providing false information to a police officer. Goh's lawyer S.S. Dhillon on Wednesday asked the court for leave to make further representations. Bail of $10,000 was posted and the case will be up for mention next month.
