Motor vehicles - Dangerous driving - What constitutes - A youth driving on a rural road passed a school bus while travelling at 100 km/h, twice the posted speed limit -Approximately two kms later, he drove through a stop sign and collided with another vehicle, killing its three occupants and badly injuring his passenger - The trial judge could not make a finding as to the youth's actual speed at the time of the collision - She found that the stop sign was difficult to see because it was angled slightly to the right and near an evergreen tree - However, she also found that "in all likelihood" had the youth not been speeding he would have seen the stop sign - The trial judge acquitted the youth of three counts of dangerous driving causing death and one count of dangerous driving causing bodily harm because she was unable to find beyond a reasonable doubt that the youth's conduct amounted to dangerous driving - The Supreme Court of Canada affirmed the acquittals.
