The court held the prior speeding convictions were neither admitted nor proven; the magistrate was not entitled to take judicial notice of or unilaterally rely on records of other proceedings to establish previous convictions; therefore the mandatory 12-month disqualification under s.41(2) and mandatory retesting under s.70 did not lawfully apply and those orders were quashed while the monetary fine was confirmed.
