R.v. Saidi Husseni, Crim. Rev. 75-D-67, 26/6/67, Hamlyn, J.

Accused was convicted of driving a motor vehicle with assorted defects. Among these was one count for having a defective hand-brake, and another count for having a defective footbrake.

            Held: The Traffic Ordinance, Cap. 168, provides only for the offence of using a motor vehicle on the road with a defective brake. Since there is no provision for further punishment when both handbrake and footbrake are defective, the conviction on both counts stand, the latter one being quashed.
