An engineer who struck a motorist on the head with a metal pole was jailed for four weeks and banned from driving for 12 months on Thursday.
Cheong Lean Wai, 32, had admitted in August this year to hitting Mr Phua Kwee Meng on the head with a metal pole, causing a 5cm bruise on the head and a 1cm cut near a petrol station along Woodlands Ave 1 on Aug 17 last year.
The court heard that Cheong had changed lanes while driving his pregnant wife home along Seletar Expressway.
Mr Phua, 42, who was driving behind, tail-gated him and high-beamed his headlamps. He eventually overtook Cheong.
