The conviction was upheld because the magistrate properly applied the law of recklessness, rejected the appellant's explanation after considering it, and his factual finding that the police car straddled lanes was supported by photographic and sketch evidence; however, on sentence the appellate court found absence of aggravating features sufficient to justify suspending the custodial element for 12 months given the appellant's clear record and personal mitigation.
