The High Court held the prosecution proved beyond reasonable doubt that the appellant drove dangerously by encroaching into the opposite lane and, due to his fault (including excessive speed and failure to reduce speed at a blind corner), caused two collisions that resulted in nine deaths; the defence version was unreasonable, the absence of a specific police report did not justify an adverse inference, and the sentence was not manifestly excessive, therefore the conviction and sentence were affirmed.
