Conviction
Against Woman Motorist Quashed
A conviction on a traffic. summons against Mrs N. Norris of 7 Peak Pavilions, was quashed by Mr Justice C. W. Reece in the Appeal Court this morning, The endorsement on her driving · licence was ordered to be removed.
Crown Counsel, Mr W. S. Collier did not sup- port the conviction.
Mrs Norris was convicted by Mr Thomas Tom on March 16 for driving a car without reasonable considera- tion for other persons using the road. The incident occurred outside the Blind Home in Pokfulam Road on December 17 last year. She was found guilty, cautioned and her licence was to be endorsed.
Represented by M- Y. H. Chan, Mrs Norris appealed against the conviction on the that the Magistrate grounds mtsdirected himself in low 0.5 to what amounted to reasonable consideration in the circum- stances; that the conviction was unreasonable and could not be. supported by the evidence; that Mrs Norrie was not guilty of the offence,
