He was 33 at the time of his death.Davidson has also been ordered to complete 12 hours of traffic school which may be completed in New York, as well as restitution, and obey all laws.As long as Davidson completes the requirements, there will be no criminal offense on his record.Davidson was charged with one misdemeanor count of reckless driving, last month, more than three months after the 29-year-old comedian and his girlfriend, Chase Sui Wonders, were involved in the Beverly Hills car crash.«We believe that Mr.
