SINGAPORE - Two men will appear in court on Sept 3 on charges of dangerous driving and and taking part in an unauthorised speed trial.

If convicted of dangerous driving, they each face fines of up to $3,000 or a prison term of up to 12 months, or both. They each face jail of up to six months and fines of up to $2,000 should they be convicted of taking part in an unauthorised speed trial. Vehicles involved in the offence may also be confiscated.
