The appellate court affirmed the conviction because the magistrate's acceptance of the omnibus driver's account and the positioning of the two vehicles was compelling despite the magistrate's mistaken remark about a bus stop; regarding sentence the court held disqualification was warranted but that three months was excessive and reduced it to two months; the court noted but did not finally decide that fixed penalty payments are not convictions though they may inform sentencing.
