>IT WAS precisely the sort of accident a speed limiter could have prevented, but the one in Lim Hong Hock's prime mover was faulty - and he took advantage of it.
Lim was jailed for eight months and banned from driving for eight years last week for failing to keep a proper lookout while speeding and causing the death of Mr Lo Hon Man, 47, and injuring 39-year-old taxi driver Tan Swee Boon.
Lim was also fined the maximum $1,000 for driving with the faulty speed limiter. He could have been jailed for up to three months instead.
