A drunk driver whose road assault through Richmond, Vancouver and Burnaby caused nearly $35,000 in damage, will not serve time in jail for the Jan. 8 crime spree captured by his own dashcam.

Jail time is not the norm on a first conviction for an impaired driving offence, according to criminal lawyer Kyla Lee, who said a one-year driving ban, $1,000 fine and an automatic criminal record is the mandatory minimum sentence.
“In this case, the sentence is tough because it includes the addition of a six-month period of probation,” Lee told Global News.
Leung must abide by a number of court-ordered conditions, including completing 50 hours of community work service.
The dashcam evidence from his Cadillac Escalade was “overwhelming,” said Lee. “It’s probably among the worst dashcam that I’ve seen.”
