The defendant was charged with making an unsafe left turn under s. 142(1) of the Highway Traffic Act after her vehicle collided with a longboarder.
The court found that the longboarder was visible and the turn was not made in safety.
The court rejected the defendant's due diligence defence, finding she failed to take all reasonable steps to observe the approaching longboarder, despite his dark clothing and unlawful use of the roadway.
The defendant was found guilty.
