The appellant appealed his convictions for speeding, failing to surrender his motor vehicle permit, and failing to surrender his insurance card.
The court allowed the appeal regarding the permit and insurance card convictions, finding that the appellant had surrendered the documents within a reasonable time and had exercised due diligence.
The court classified these offences as strict liability offences and found that the appellant's conduct met the due diligence defence, particularly considering his concerns about personal safety during the police interaction.
The appeal regarding the speeding conviction was dismissed as the evidence supported the conviction.
