The appeal is allowed because the magistrate failed to address the central issue—whether the obscured no-right-turn sign and the appellant's inability to see it constituted a reasonable excuse for crossing the continuous double white lines. On proper consideration the defence raised a reasonable excuse and the conviction could not stand, so the conviction was quashed and the sentence set aside.
