The 39-year-old TVB actor, whose real name is Lam Ming-lok, also admitted on Friday having an illegal tint on his car windows, but denied failing to provide a blood sample for an alcohol test without a reasonable excuse at Queen Mary Hospital.

Best known as Tin Hoi in drama Be Home for Dinner in 2011, the star will stand trial over the final charge on March 2 next year. His bail was extended until then, on the condition he lived at his home address.

The case before Principal Magistrate Bina Chainrai of Eastern Court centred on an accident on Magazine Gap Road in Mid-Levels on August 8 this year.

Careless driving and unlawfully reducing the visibility of car windows are punishable by six months behind bars and a fine.
