香港特別行政區訴柯俊頤

Citation

[2024] HKCFI 3275
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMA287/2023

Objective CCTV and dashcam evidence, read with witness testimony, established that when the appellant turned and continued to drive in a crowded car park he failed to observe a vehicle emerging from a parking bay and did not exercise reasonable care and attention; minor inconsistencies in witness timings and police sketches did not render the conviction unsafe, so the appeal is dismissed.
