The Court of Appeal dismissed the defendant's appeal against a traffic fine for speeding, upholding the lower court's decision to convict and order costs. The defendant argued that the radar measurement was inaccurate due to beam width and that the trial procedure was flawed, including the refusal to present specific evidence. The court rejected these claims, citing the manufacturer's manual which confirmed the laser beam's narrow angle and stating that the officer's actions and the device's error signals were consistent with proper procedure.
