Key legal question
Whether the respondent committed gross violation of traffic rules under Art. 90 No. 2 SVG.
Extracted holding
The driver's speed, lack of attention to pedestrians, and disregard of duty of special caution amounted to grossly negligent and reckless conduct.
Extracted reasoning
The road and visibility conditions required speed reduction and heightened vigilance. The pedestrian crossing was clearly visible, the victim was an elderly pedestrian, and the driver failed to notice her in time despite ample opportunity. The pedestrian's own improper conduct did not justify any culpability reduction.
