Question juridique clé
Whether the appellate court arbitrarily assessed the police officer's testimony and violated in dubio pro reo.
Solution extraite
No. The testimony was clear and consistent, and even allowing for possible distance-estimation errors, the distance remained far too small at the relevant speed.
Motifs extraits
The court held that in dubio pro reo forbids conviction only when serious, objective doubt remains. Here, the officer's account that the appellant repeatedly followed too closely was credible despite imprecise meter estimates. Any possible overestimation did not undermine the core finding because even a substantially larger distance would still have been clearly insufficient.
