Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the appellant violated traffic duties by entering the road when the oncoming vehicle had priority
Decisione estratta
Yes. By entering at night with the rear of the long convoy not visible from afar, he impeded the priority vehicle and breached the duty of care.
Motivazione estratta
The road train was only partly visible; lateral reflectors were missing and the rear signal was obscured. The appellant therefore had to foresee that the priority driver would have to brake or evade.
