    On maximum evaluation of all prosecution evidence the court found elements one and three proved (accused was driver; death occurred) but the prosecution failed to prove element two (driving recklessly). The accused signalled, stopped 3–4 minutes, and the road was straight with clear visibility; turning on a double white line may be a traffic offence but did not automatically amount to reckless driving. Therefore no prima facie case and accused discharged at end of prosecution case.
