The appellant appealed his conviction for careless driving under the Highway Traffic Act following a rear-end collision.
At trial, the appellant argued his actions amounted to mere momentary inattentiveness when he looked away from the road to read a sign.
The appeal court reviewed the trial justice's refusal to grant a mistrial over late disclosure, the application of the ordinary prudent driver standard, and the assessment of dash camera evidence.
Finding no errors in law, misapprehension of evidence, or miscarriage of justice, the court dismissed the appeal and upheld the conviction.
