The defendant was charged with stunt driving under section 172(1) of the Highway Traffic Act for driving 150 km/h in an 80 km/h zone on Highway 6.
The Crown proved the defendant was clocked by radar at 150 km/h.
The defendant raised three defences: due diligence (based on his Attention Deficit Disorder causing hyper-focus), necessity, and automatism.
The court rejected all three defences, finding that the defendant failed to provide expert medical evidence to support his claims and that reasonable legal alternatives existed.
The court convicted the defendant.
