The Court of Appeal dismissed the defendant's appeal, upholding the lower court's conviction for failing to identify the vehicle driver as required by law. The defendant argued he could not recall who was driving due to a blurry photo and shared driving with his wife, but the court found these claims insufficient to justify non-compliance. The court ruled that the defendant's failure to provide a specific answer constituted an intentional violation of his statutory reporting obligation.
