The magistrate misinterpreted the appellant's reference to headache and chest pain as a denial of an earlier statement to police about water on the road; that misapprehension could have materially affected the magistrate's assessment of the appellant's credibility and therefore the safety of the conviction, so the appeal is allowed and the sentence set aside.
