The appellate court upheld the first-instance conviction for dangerous driving under Article 178a §1kk of the Criminal Code. The prosecution argued that information from foreign courts was insufficient to prove the defendant's prior record, while the defense sought a change in legal qualification. The court found the evidence sufficient to establish guilt and rejected the argument that missing foreign records required a different legal characterization.
