Prof Hon William Wong Kam-fai, MH, admitted four driving-related charges at a court hearing on 11 November.
The charges were driving with alcohol above the prescribed limit, careless driving, failing to stop after a collision causing damage, and failing to report it. The prosecution changed a dangerous-driving charge to careless driving.
The incident happened on the evening of 29 June at The Chinese University of Hong Kong. The charge cited a breath-alcohol reading of 45 micrograms per 100 millilitres, above the prescribed limit of 22. Two cars were damaged, and Wong left without stopping.
In mitigation, his lawyer said Wong had undergone surgery for sleep apnoea and was very tired at the time, affecting his judgement. Counsel asked the court to consider a community service order or a suspended sentence.
The case was adjourned to 26 November for sentencing, with social-service and background reports to be obtained.
