    Court of Appeal

    CACC312/2015

    The judge's factual findings—CCTV evidence of impact timing, DNA of the deceased on the applicant's right rear tyre, witness evidence and vehicle defects—provided a compelling and permissible basis to infer that the applicant's vehicle struck the deceased and that he failed to keep a proper lookout while reversing; a competent and careful driver would have ensured no one was behind the vehicle, so the driving fell far below the required standard and the conviction was safe, making the appeal unarguable.
