J U D G M E N T

_______________

1.The Appellant has put forward very detailed and lengthy submissions in respect of his appeal against his two convictions: one for failing to comply with a traffic signal; and the other of driving a motor vehicle with an alcohol concentration in breath which exceeded the prescribed limit. I have given careful consideration to all his submissions. Having considered them and having considered what the Magistrate said in his Statement of Findings, I am of the view that the Magistrate was entitled to convict the Appellant of both offences, and that there is no basis on which I can interfere with either conviction.

2.This appeal is, therefore, dismissed.
