Appeal from a conviction for careless driving under section 130 of the Highway Traffic Act.
The appellant was found guilty of careless driving after colliding with another vehicle on a snow-covered, icy road.
The appellant was travelling at a speed too fast for the conditions and was unable to stop when the vehicle ahead signalled and began a left turn.
The appellant argued the trial justice erred in assessing due diligence and in finding the speed was too fast for conditions.
The appellate court dismissed the appeal, finding the trial justice properly applied the legal test and had ample evidence to support the conviction.
