Mr Justice Chan PJ:
1. In support of his application for leave to appeal against the conviction of dangerous driving causing death on the substantial and grave injustice limb, the Applicant relies on 3 grounds of appeal.
2. We are not persuaded that any of these grounds are reasonably arguable.
3. We are not satisfied that the trial magistrate had wrongly misused the Road Users' Code or wrongly admitted or relied on the evidence of the expert witness called by the prosecution or that the magistrate was not entitled on the evidence to find that the applicant's driving fell far below that of a competent and careful driver and that it would be obvious to such a driver that such manner of driving was dangerous in the circumstances. The application is dismissed.
