Key legal question
Whether the cantonal court's fact-finding and evidence assessment were arbitrary and violated in dubio pro reo regarding the overtaking maneuver.
Extracted holding
No. The Federal Court held that the cantonal court could rely on the consistent testimony of the observing police officers and was not arbitrary in finding that the defendant overtook despite oncoming traffic.
Extracted reasoning
The witnesses largely corroborated each other on the decisive points, had a clear view of the road section, and had no apparent motive to falsely incriminate the defendant. The defendant failed to show that the assessment was untenable.
