The appeal is dismissed.
Reasons
The grounds of appeal are examined.
1. Examining the reasoning of the lower judgment in light of the evidence duly admitted by the first instance court and the lower court, the lower court’s determination that the Defendant was guilty of the violation of the Road Traffic Act of June 8, 2014 among the facts charged in the instant case on the grounds stated in its reasoning is justifiable and did not err by exceeding the bounds of the principle of free evaluation of evidence against logical and empirical rules.
