AI generated

The appellate court dismissed the defendant's appeal against a conviction for a traffic violation, maintaining the first-instance judgment. The defendant argued that the expert opinion was flawed and his explanations were unfairly disregarded, claiming he was forced into the collision by the victim's maneuver. The court rejected these claims, finding the expert's analysis comprehensive and the defendant's account logically inconsistent with the physical circumstances of the accident.
