The appellate court held the trial judge did not err: the prosecution witnesses were credible and their unchallenged visual observations (clear lighting, unobstructed view) that the appellant performed high‑speed ‘drifting’ occupying two lanes, without deceleration and causing a lorry to brake, proved a driving standard far below that of a competent careful driver and therefore satisfied dangerous driving under s37(1); credibility findings and refusal to allow withdrawal of admissions were within the trial judge's discretion and not irrational, so the conviction and sentence were affirmed.
