Driving damage |

brings court fine

By Anna Marie D’Angela
News Reporter

TSUI Lan Chan Chu
had her driver’s licence
for less than two
months when the
‘woman came out of her
British Properties’ dri-
veway on Feb. 5 and
drove across into her
neighbor’s land causing
$6,000 worth of dam-
age.

According to West
Vancouver Crown lawyer Dan
Mulligan, Chu drave over a
curb in the 1300-block of
Cambridge onto her neigh-
bor’s property, running over

lants, hitting a conerete

jampost, striking a garage and
then finally stopping when her
1997 Land Rover hit a neigh-
bor's house.

The damage to the garage
caused its rocf to buckle.

Mulligan said on March 17
in West Vancouver provincial
court that Chu, 47, was
apparently distracted at the
wheel as she closed a door on
her moving upscale all-terrain
vehicle at 1:30 p.m.

Chu, without a lawyer, was
given a few options by the
Judge as to how she cou!
deal with the charge against
her. She chose to immediately
plead guilty to the charge of
driving without due care and
attention, She was fined
$200.

Through a Cantonese
interpreter, Chu explained
that her young son was in the
back of the vehicle and she
did not have her full attention
on the road as she approached
a sharp turn at the bottom of
her driveway. She stated she
was not speeding.

Said Judge — Reginald
Grandison, “How did you

because it is a Land Rover.”

Chu said she was very
sorry and that the damage was
covered by insurance.

The judge asked her where
she learned to drive and
whether she had received help
with doiiig her driver's licence
examination,

She said she got her licence
in Vancouver and that she had
written hero ecxam in
Cantonese without help.
