The prosecution failed to prove the higher offence of dangerous driving under Section 41(1) RTA 1987 beyond reasonable doubt because witness evidence did not conclusively show the accused drove in a manner demonstrating a selfish disregard for safety; however, evidence did establish that the accused drove without due care and consideration contrary to Section 43(1) RTA 1987, and the court therefore amended the charges, accepted the accused's guilty pleas to the amended charges and convicted.
