Defendant convicted under s43(1) APJ; court weighed mitigation (guilty plea, employment, family responsibility) against aggravation (illegal U‑turn across double white lines causing sudden hazard and the death of a motorcyclist) and concluded public interest and deterrence required a substantial fine; refusal to give meaningful discount for guilty plea due to seriousness and fatal outcome; sentence imposed RM10,000 fine or 12 months imprisonment and endorsement on driving licence as mandated by statute.
