1. The appellant in this case was charged with careless driving. The allegation against him was that on the 11th January last past he was driving along Connaught Road Central approaching the junction of Gilman Street, at which he allegedly cut in front of a police motor-cycle causing it to brake and halt abruptly, so much so that the engine of the motor-cycle went dead. It was alleged that the police officer was thus prevented from making a smooth left turn.
