The defendant was charged with speeding—98 kilometres per hour in a posted 60 kilometres per hour zone, contrary to section 128 of the Highway Traffic Act.
The trial proceeded over three dates.
The Crown presented evidence from Police Officer Mike Hunchak, who used a Decatur Genesis II Select radar device to measure the defendant's speed.
The defendant testified that he was driving cautiously due to heavy cargo and was travelling at less than 60 kilometres per hour when stopped.
The court found that the radar device was properly tested and operated, and that the Crown had established a prima facie case.
The court concluded that the defendant's evidence, while credible, did not raise a reasonable doubt regarding his guilt.
The defendant was found guilty as charged.
