Bus lane violation
  • 17 Jul 2020

    香港特別行政區 訴 馮廣陵

    Citation
    [2020] HKCFI 1594
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMA401/2019

    Appellant's entry into the bus lane was undisputed and, on the totality of evidence, the trial magistrate's adverse credibility findings were sustainable; appellant knew a bus lane existed at the location and could and should have changed lanes earlier rather than risk driving into the bus lane; therefore appellant had not established a reasonable excuse and the conviction was safe; the sentence (HK$2,500 fine) was not manifestly excessive and was upheld.
