The court convicted the vehicle owner of speeding after finding he failed to identify the driver when summoned by the local police. The defendant argued he was not the driver, but the court determined that the owner's obligation to assist law enforcement was breached by not responding to summons letters. Consequently, the court ruled that the owner committed a socially harmful act by obstructing the identification of the actual driver, warranting a fine of 300 zloty and court costs.
