On the objective test in section 36(4) the appellant's driving fell far below the standard of a competent and careful driver: credible eyewitness and MVE evidence established excessive speed, failure to keep proper lookout, late braking and inadequate evasive action which caused the pedestrian's death; the bias allegation was unfounded; the conviction stands, the imprisonment sentence is appropriate but the three-year driving disqualification was not justified and is reduced to two years.
