- High Court
The High Court held the trial Judge did not err: the independent eyewitness evidence was reliable, admissions by the appellant corroborated the careless nature of his driving, the mens rea for sustained loss of traction was not established so amendment to careless use was appropriate, and careless driving was proven beyond reasonable doubt; therefore the conviction was upheld and the appeal dismissed.
