The court convicted the defendant of a traffic violation for failing to wear seatbelts and imposed a fine of 100 zloty. Although the defendant denied guilt and claimed he wore seatbelts, the court relied on consistent witness testimony regarding the violation. The court determined that the defendant's denial was merely a defensive posture and that the statutory obligation to wear seatbelts was clearly established.
