Tracey Pitt v THE QUEEN Respondent/Appellant TRACEY PITT Baker, JA: 1. Tracey Pitt was tried in the Supreme Court before Wolffe AJ and a jury on an indictment containing six counts. On 10 September 2013 she was acquitted of counts 1 and 3, causing grievous bodily harm when driving a vehicle whilst impaired by alcohol and count 5 driving a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol. She was convicted of counts 2 and 4, reckless driving contrary to section 320 of the Criminal Code and count 6, failing or refusing to provide a specimen of breath contrary to section 35C(7) of the Road Traffic Act 1947. She was sentenced to 3 months imprisonment concurrent on each count and on count 6 was also disqualified for 18 months with 8 demerit points. 2. On 19 March 2014 we allowed her appeal against conviction on counts 2 and 4 and dismissed her appeal against conviction on count 6. We allowed her appeal against sentence on count 6 to the extent of varying her sentence by vacating the 3 month sentence of imprisonment and reducing the disqualification from 18 to 12 months. We now give our reasons. Facts 3. On Sunday, 29 January 2012, about 2:30 a.m, the appellant was driving a Toyota Corolla south along Woodlands Road in Pembroke Parish. Just after she passed Canal Road on her left she collided with 36 year old twin brothers, Rudolph Smith and Randolph Smith who were on the tarmac wrestling in the south bound lane. They both received serious injuries. Rudolph sustained a fractured skull, lung contusions and his mental state was affected. Randolph had a fractured left ankle, a fractured dislocation of his left tibia and fibula, multiple lumber and pelvic fractures plus injuries to the face and head. No other vehicle was involved. 4. The appellant called 911. When the police arrived she showed signs of having consumed alcohol and was arrested. On being cautioned for driving whilst impaired she said "I'm sorry. I was driving my vehicle and I felt like I hit something." There was no evidence that she was driving at excessive speed. Police reconstruction concluded that the brothers had been dragged some 13.26 meters from impact. There were no brake marks but a witness said the appellant's brake lights came on followed by a short screech and impact. 5. She was taken to Hamilton Police Station and indeed admitted to having consumed two glasses of red wine. She was asked to provide a specimen of breath and at first agreed. But after she had been given the opportunity of speaking to a lawyer on the telephone and having been unable to contact one she refused on the ground that she had not spoken to one.
