In the early hours of a March morning in Singapore, a young man's reckless flight from police set in motion a chain of harm that touched five lives — among them an elderly bus driver and two schoolchildren beginning their day. Two years later, Tan Yao Cong, 29, stands before the courts charged with drink driving and dangerous driving, his blood alcohol nearly double the legal limit and his record already marked by a prior conviction. The case asks, as such cases always do, what it takes for a society to interrupt a pattern of endangerment before the cost becomes irreversible.
