Court dismissed appeal against traffic offense sentence, upholding conviction and fine due to lack of gross disproportionality.

The Court of Appeal dismissed the defendant's appeal against a traffic violation conviction and fine, ruling that the first-instance judgment must stand. The defendant argued that police failed to interview witnesses and that the driver's braking was excessive due to wet roads, but the court found these points insufficient to overturn the finding of fault under the Road Traffic Act. Consequently, the court determined the 200 zloty fine was not grossly disproportionate to the offense and the defendant's financial situation, thereby rejecting the request to reduce the penalty.
