The appellate court quashed the lower court's conviction for a traffic violation and remanded the case for retrial. The defendant argued that the law did not require drivers turning left to check for overtaking vehicles, citing conflicting case law. The appellate court rejected this, noting a consistent judicial line requiring special care to ensure no other vehicle endangers the maneuver, and ordered the lower court to re-evaluate the evidence.
