The Magistrate was entitled to find, on the combined evidence of three prosecution witnesses, the appellant's own statement and supporting photographs, that the appellant maintained a speed which was 'too fast in the circumstances' and failed to pay attention to pedestrians on the safety island, thereby breaching the duty of a reasonably prudent driver under s.38(1) Road Traffic Ordinance; that finding supports dismissal of the appeal and upholding the conviction for careless driving.
