Mwakingv.re for the appellant submitted that from his personal exporience the alleged feeder road was not a feeder iad as suOh - but mere path Yet, going by the record in particular the sketch plan - that ws not a path but as already cbserved a road as big.as the Nbeya/Iring hihway0 The sketch plan was produced in court in the normal way and the app'll:.nt did not dispute its accuracy in any manner. It is ufortunae per.ias that the appellant was not represented in the lower court. In the bircumstances of this 'case - he ought to have engaged a Counsel - if only fohi on good0 The other driver may have certainly turned into the feeder road abruptly but such conduct would not in my view affect the criminal liability of the appellant although of course, it would be relevant as a faötor in mitigation and possibly a good, ii'±'in favour of appellant in a civil case when it caine to apportionriont of blame for purposes of daraagas On the facts on record I am satisfied appellant's guilt was fully established the absence of the evidence of the other driver notwith- standing, I would accordingly disriss 'Jic appeal against conviotion I would not interfere with the fine imposed but I would think that year' clean record as a driver is a special reason warranting a ion in the disqualification ;erio Accorngly the ication period is reduced to onn of 12 r'onths. ic aIringa this 24th day of Augu;, 1 978 - S MO J0 ?Pi1JBFJIE J U D G E 24th August, 1978 fO.
