Violent motorcyclist sentenced to three weeks imprisonment

The hyper-aggressive motorcyclist who punched through a window of a car in a road rage incident last year has just been sentenced to three weeks imprisonment today. 

According to The Straits Times, 33-year-old James George Palin is appealing against the sentence and is currently out on a $15, 000 bail. The former regional director of a recruitment company had been involved in an altercation while riding on his motorbike along Tanjong Katong Road with a Volkswagen car driven by 43-year-old Chiang Pak Chien. 

Palin had hit the bumper of Chiang’s car while overtaking, and Chiang responded by overtaking the bike. The unhappy Palin then knocked on the windows of the car, which made Chiang stopped by the side of the rode while his girlfriend who was in the car with him called the police. Palin walked over to the car and somehow punched through the car window, causing injury to the couple from the shattered glass before fleeing. 

The Briton could have been jailed for up to one year and/or fined up to $5,000. It is unknown if he can punch his way out of prison.
