I am pretty sure a non-elite will be given a stiff prison term for such drink-driving offence. :rolleyes:

Drink-driving doctor escapes jail

A 59-YEAR-OLD doctor will not have to go to jail for drink driving after a successful appeal against her sentence.

Instead, Irene Lim Kay Han, a senior consultant radiologist at the KK Women's and Children's Hospital, was fined the maximum $5,000. She remains banned from driving for four years.

Appeal Judge Chao Hick Tin said he will give a written judgment to explain why he set aside the jail term, a penalty usually given to drink-driving motorists with high alcohol levels.
