Hong Kong Police Charge Bus Driver with "Careless Driving" After Seeking Advice from Department of Justice

Hong Kong police arrested an on-duty bus driver on Sept 6, 2020, but changed their statement concerning the reason of the arrest for several times: from "honking for no reason", "dangerous driving" (at 35km/h), "possession of offensive weapon" (a spanner) to "careless driving".

The bus company record shows that the driver was only driving at a speed of 35km/h and the New World First Bus staff union said it is common for bus driver to carry a spanner to calibrate the rear mirror.

Nevertheless, on Sept 10, police eventually decide to charge the 36-year-old bus driver with "careless driving", after seeking opinion from the Department of Justice.

According to sources, the police were discontent as the bus driver honked when the police occupied the roads to conduct search and arrests.
