    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMA379/2020

    The court allowed the amendment to the charge to include Huagingshan Road and, on a re‑hearing of the evidence before the trial judge, concluded that the appellant's driving—driving downhill for about 2–3 km with an unsecured excavator—fell far below the standard of a competent careful driver and was obviously dangerous under s37 RTO; the conviction for dangerous driving was therefore upheld and the appeal dismissed.
