Conviction for dangerous driving was upheld because repeated, foreseeable collisions with a person known to be standing in front of the vehicle, with increasing speed and onward driving after initial impact, met the standard of dangerous driving. Convictions for failing to stop and failing to report were quashed because the conduct was properly characterised as deliberate use of the vehicle to strike the person (an intentional assault) rather than an "accident" within the statutory meaning; therefore the statutory offences could not be sustained.
