Clause 26

Any person who causes the death of another person by the driving of a motor vehicle on a road recklessly, or at a speed or in a manner which is dangerous to the public, having regard to all the circumstances of the case, including the nature, condition and use of the road, and the amount of traffic which is actually at the time, or which might reasonably be expected to be, on the road, shall be guilty of an offence under this Ordinance and shall be liable on conviction to imprisonment for a term not exceeding five years.

The provisions of section 323 of the Criminal Procedure Code (Cap. 132) shall apply to any offence under this section as it applies to the offence of causing death by a rash or negligent act.

If upon the trial of a person for an offence under this section, the court is not satisfied that his driving was the cause of the death, but is satisfied that he is guilty of driving as specified in subsection (1) of this section, it shall be lawful for the court to convict him of an offence under section 24 of this Ordinance, whether or not the requirements of section 33 of this Ordinance have been satisfied as respects that offence.

The court shall order particulars of any conviction under subsection (1) of this section to be endorsed on any driving licence held by the person convicted.
