i can’t believe this happens in Singapore. When i heard it from my frienz, i thought he is relating a HK TVBI Series. After reading the news, i still find it unbelievable.

This guy, Gerard Alphonsus Louis is my “Hero”. He forced the police to draw and open fire on his service pistol; as he rammed his car towards to police officer, just to avoid the road block.

SINGAPORE: A 48-year-old man who almost ran over a police officer when avoiding a roadblock in June this year was sentenced to four years jail on Monday.

Gerard Alphonsus Louis was also fined S$39,800 and banned from driving for life.

The incident happened on June 13 during an anti drink-driving ring-fencing operation at the junction of Neil Road and Kreta Ayer Road. Louis, who was then on bail for an earlier drink-driving offence, had reversed his car against the flow of traffic to avoid the roadblock.

He did not stop despite being warned, and drove straight towards a police officer manning the roadblock – forcing the officer to draw his service pistol and open fire at the car’s front wheel to avoid being run over.

Louis, who was driving without a licence, also faced a string of traffic offences accumulated between March last year and June.
