The appeal is allowed because the magistrate erred in principle by imposing a 240‑hour community service order on a first offender without injury or evidence of serious impairment and without identifying aggravating factors justifying an atypically severe sentence; the community service order is quashed and, if unfinished, is to be substituted with a fine of HKD 8,000, with other penalties (two‑year disqualification and requirement to attend driving improvement course) to remain.
