Questão jurídica principal
Whether the finding of an insufficient following distance was arbitrary.
Decisão extraída
No. The police report, video recording, and line-based calculation supported the finding; the Federal Court saw no arbitrariness.
Fundamentação extraída
The lower court relied on a trained police officer's observation, corroborated by video evidence and measurements using motorway lane markings. It even adopted assumptions favorable to the accused, which sufficiently accounted for any measurement uncertainty.
