    HCMA1084/2001

    The magistrate's credibility findings and evaluation of evidence were within permissible bounds: considering relative vehicle power was a legitimate factor, mirror damage was equivocal and did not compel acceptance of the appellant's account, the appellant's version that PW1 dangerously overtook in opposing traffic was implausible, and duress did not arise because the pursuit occurred after she had already driven off; accordingly the convictions for careless driving and failing to stop are safe and the appeal is dismissed.
