AI generatedThe Court of Appeal acquitted the defendant, K.S., of the offense of creating a danger to traffic safety under Article 86 § 1 of the Traffic and Road Safety Code. While the court acknowledged the defendant's failure to exercise due care while parking, it found that no actual threat to other people or traffic safety materialized because the vehicle she struck was unoccupied.
