Questão jurídica principal
Whether the defendant was guilty of not controlling the vehicle after avoiding an oncoming car.
Decisão extraída
He was acquitted because his evasive maneuver was justified in an imminent danger situation and he could not rely on the oncoming driver to react properly.
Fundamentação extraída
The court applied the trust principle and necessity doctrine: the defendant perceived a concrete, immediate danger, took proportionate evasive action, and ex ante could not safely assume the other driver would correct in time.
