    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMA6/2024

    On rehearing, examining all evidence (including dashcam and witness evidence) the court found that although the appellant was following closely, the sudden cut-in by a third vehicle and the very short interval created reasonable doubt that the appellant committed careless driving; prosecution failed to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt, therefore conviction was quashed and penalty stayed.
