    The prosecution failed to prove dangerous driving under s41(1) beyond reasonable doubt given absence of eyewitnesses, narrow road and evidentiary shortcomings; appellate court substituted conviction to s43(1) (driving without due care and attention) and imposed a fine of RM10,000 in default one year imprisonment.
