The Court of Appeal dismissed the defendant's appeal against a first-instance conviction for a traffic violation involving a failure to yield. The defendant argued that the court erred in excluding expert opinions and failed to interview police officers, claiming these omissions violated procedural rights. The court rejected these claims, stating that the facts were clear without specialized expertise and that the excluded witnesses were not direct eyewitnesses to the incident.
