The appellant was convicted at trial of speeding 100 km/h in a 60 km/h zone contrary to section 128 of the Highway Traffic Act.
The officer used a BEE III mobile radar device to measure the appellant's speed.
On appeal, the appellant challenged the conviction on the grounds that the officer failed to follow the device manual, specifically the requirement to use tuning forks for calibration.
The court dismissed the appeal, finding that the officer was qualified to operate the device, the device was properly tested before and after use, and the failure to follow an outdated calibration procedure that no longer applied to the current model of the device did not create a reasonable doubt about the accuracy of the speed measurement.
