The police stated that the urban taxi involved in the case was caught speeding by speed cameras in various districts in the New Territories from November 6 to December 11 last year. The case was handed over to the Police Central Traffic Camera Violation Investigation Team to take over the investigation.
Officers issued a "Notice to Submit Driver's Details" to the registered taxi driver in the urban area involved in the case. Afterwards, a 57-year-old male driver surnamed Cai admitted that he was the driver who violated the law that day.
