CRIMINAL DEFENCE CASE FACTS:
Client driving a friend’s car, attempted to overtake a slower vehicle on Vancouver’s Marine Drive.  Although there was a broken white line, a rise in the roadway effectively obscured the driver’s view of oncoming traffic.  When an oncoming vehicle appeared, the client attempted to return to the right, lost control and caused a serious accident.

HELD: NOT GUILTY
Although he caused an accident, the circumstances were such that he did not depart significantly from the required standard of due care and attention to warrant a conviction. NOT GUILTY
