Mohamed Salim v. R., Crim. App. 944-D-67, 9/2/68, Georges C. J.
Accused was convicted of driving a motor vehicle on a public road while his efficiency was impaired by drinks or drugs. In pleading to the offence, accused said, “It is true. I had taken 2 bottles Of beer.” This was entered as a plea of guilty. The facts stated by the prosecution were that accused had been under the influence of liquor.
Held: (1) It is not enough that the accused was under the influence of liquor. It must be proved that his efficiency was impaired by reason of such influence. (2) The plea was equivocal and should not have been entered as a plea of guilty. Conviction quashed.
