approaching from an east-

slow because it was getting
sufficiently close to Mr. Mor-

became concerned as to what
was going to happen and Mr.
Moran's vehicle was then
seen to proceed slowly onto
the highway into the east-
bound lane. The first of the
eastbound vehicles, the dri-
ver of that vehicle had to
apply his brakes heavily. He
stopped his vehicle immedi-
ately behind Mr. -Moran’s

Mr. Enderton: May it
please your honor, with res-
pect to the charge of dan-
gerous driving, I waive read-
ing of the information and
enter a plea of guilty. *
The Court: Thank you.
Mr. Moffat: Your honor,
L appear for the Crown, My
name: is Moffat, M-0O-F-
F‘A-T, initials R.M. The cir-
cumstances with respect to
this matter, your honor, are
as follows: At approximately
9:45 p.m., on the date re-
ferred to in the information,
March of last year, the ac-
cused, driving his own vehi-
cle, was seen at a service
station, Next, travelling 3 at
Christina Lake. He was ob-
served by two individuals
driving vehicles towards the
service station in an east-
bound direction, those vehi-
cles had their headlights on
Mr. Moran's vehicle was seen
to leave the area of the gas
pump and approach the high-
way. It stopped, I am ad-
vised, with the front of the
vehicle approximately five
feet onto the paved portion of
the westbound lane. At that
point in time, the two ap-
proaching vehicles were
slowing, however, they were
still proceeding in an east-
bound direction. The front

able to stop in time and hit

eastbound vehicle, There

cident."Mr.;Moran was seen

immediately after,this triple
accident and approach the
driver of the first vehicle and
indicated at that point in time
that he was at fault for the
accident. It was his res-
ponsibility and he knew he
was in the middle of the
highway and shouldn't have

n.

The driver of the first
vehicle, Mr. Thompson, ob-
served Mr. Moran at that
point in time and he noticed a
wet spot on the front of Mr.
Moran's trousers. He noted a
smell of liquor on the breath
of Mr. Moran and advised
that he noticed that the walk
was unsure.

Shortly after, approxi-
mately 15 minutes later, the
RCMP arrived. Const. Vol-
lans, who attends, he speaks
to Mr. Moran and sees him
and observed at that time
that Mr. Moran had a wet
stain on his left pant leg just
above the knee and he could
smell a light odor of alcohol
on the breath of Mr. Moran.
He says his walking was
unsure and said Mr. Moran
appeared to be nervous and
excitable. He could see that
his eyes had a watery oc-
currence. Mr. Moran was
asked to go back to the Grand
Forks detachment and he did
so with Const. Vollans and he

was seen later by Const,
Allison at the Grand Forks
RCMP detachment.

Const, Allison, noted an
odor of liquor on the breath
of Mr, Moran, he noted that
his eyes were watery, or had
a shiny appearance and that
his speech appeared to be a
bit unsure.

Const. -Vollans had oc-
casion to examine Mr. Mor-
an's vehicle and he found in
that vehicle after the ac-
cident an open bottle of gin in
the rear seat. He found a
glass in the glove compart-
met with liquid in it, which
was tasted and appeared to
be liquor to Const. Vollans.
And also, ice cubes were
found on the passenger side
of the front of the vehicle on
the floor.

* Throughout the investi-
gation of this matter, Mr.
Moran indicated at all times
that he was responsible for
the accident.

The Court: Mr. Ender-
ton?

Mr. Enderton: Thank
you, your honor. May it
please your honor, I have no.
quarrel with the facts as
related by my friend. The
only difference would be in
interpretation that is put on
those facts. And, on the day
previous to the accident, Mr.
Moran had driven from his
home in Castlegar to Grand
Forks where he stayed over
and he got up at five o'clock
in the morning of the acci-
dent and drove to Vernon,
which is approximately a
four-hour drive. He had a
trial there that day, after the
trial he drove back to Grand
Forks. He checked into —
back into.the motel where he
had stayed the previous
night and- had some drinks,
there’s no question of that,
and then retired. He got a
call from one of his juniors
requiring him to return be-
cause his junior had a trial
the following morning and
just didn't feel competent to
handle it and Mr. Moran got
from his bed, into the car,
and started home when the
accident occurred. And of
course, he had pulled into the
oil station to fill the car up
with gasoline because he was
running short. And as out-
lined by the Crown, he did
accept responsibility for the
accident, it’s quite clear there
was some on his

wy :
consistently “been a ‘joke
amongst members of the bar
to comment on Mr. Moran's
gait, in the way he stands at
counsel table, and I can un-
derstand that someone would
think that there was some-
thing unusual about his walk
because indeed there is, but
it’a not as a result of alcohol.

He is, as your honor, I’m
sure, is well aware, counsel of
outstanding ability whose
reputation is province-wide
and he has been at the bar of
this province for close to 30
years and — and I say that in
the province, I mean just
that, because he is — his
services are required from
the most southerly part of
the province to the most
northerly and he's constantly
travelling. He travels on an
average of 70,000 miles a

year which is a very sub-.

stantial amount when one

-considers.. that the average

car, the average car travels
something like 10 or 12,000
miles a year and a large part
of this time is spent in his car
and in one sense it's almost a
part of his home and it's not
usual that he does have a
th

up the practice or give up the
position as a Bencher and, of
course, he chose to do that.

He has, over the years,
been a guiding light to all the
junior members of the bar
and always the junior mem-
bers when they needed ad-

h i

before the courts with res-
pect toa charge of dangerous
driving and the Crown’ is
prepared to agree to that -
submission of my learned
friend,

the province, almost invari-
ably, if there is an RCMP
member who finds himself in
difficulties,. it’s Mr. Moran
who is called in and he's just
finished, for instance, a
lengthy inquest in Prince
George where he was re-
cently involved, he is not
involved in‘another trial in —
the Lower Kamloops where a
policeman ‘has’ got himself
into trouble'— and so it has
been all over the province. So
that he‘is held obviously in
high regard by the RCMP in
terms of his ability and there
is nothing that would — there
is nothing about his character
that would — is other than

travelling al! the time and I

have no doubt, although I
haven't obtained instruc-
tions, that the bottle was

probably one that he had in.

his room when he was having
a drink prior to getting up to
leave. a
He has driven for all of
the years that he has prac-
tised law and it’s in, certainly
in the last 15 years that I can
speak of, he has driven very
extensively. I don't know
whether it would be 70,000
for 15 years, but certainly,
50,000 and he has a com-
pletely clean record. Doesn't
even have so much as a
speeding ticket ‘nor any
points of any kind, which of
course indicates, in my sub-
mission, the type of driver
that he is because it’s just a
law of averages in dictating
that you'd have to get caught
in that amount of driving if
you weren't careful and a
cautious driver. Needless to
say, he has no convictions for
his driving.

* He has been one of the
outstanding members of the
bar of this province and he, in
terms of ability and needless
r ibution to the bar, he

part in entering the road as
he did. There was a smell of
liquor, but there certainly
was no — it was not a case of
having consumed great
quantities of alcoho! and then
having got into the car. He
had alcohol at a time that he
didn’t think he was going to
be driving. The condition of
his eyes and those other
things that are normally
cited in support of impaired
driving charges, of course,
are all explainable by the fact
that he had had a very long
day and had just got out of
his bed. His walk, I don't
mean to be unkind or face-

tious, but the fact of the |

matter is, that he is both
bow-legged and pigeon-toed
and over the years it has

received his Q.C. in 1969 and
I can tell your honor that he
had no friends at court to
seek it for him nor did he —
did he owe any political debts
so that when he obtained his
Q.C. he obtained it on merit.
He served two terms as a
Bencher for this area and was
actively involved in the Law
Society to the extent that he
couldn't carry on with his
Bencher duties and still carry
on with his practice because
the Bencher duties, because
he was conscientious about —
consumed a large part of his
time which meant that he
was spending almost as much
time in Vancouver at’ com-
mittee meetings and the like.

that this is the situation that

what the usual facts are in a
dangerous driving and it's
more — it was more a case of
lack of judgment and a lack of
caution. The dangerous as-
pect, if I may suggest so, is of
a minor nature. There is
nothing that would require,
in my submission, that there
be any kind of sentence other
than an absolute discharge
because of the fact that there
is no driving record, there is
no criminal record of any
kind. it's an absolutely first

Mr. Moran is such that it just
cannot be called into dispute.
It certainly is not, in my

public interest that he should {

Ilves together. The other day | read where one couple *
said, ‘We've hauled water by horse and wagon, coped °
with the cold and the deep snow, ralsed and educated a
family of ten, and lost a daughter, Virginla."’ :

slept next to the wall? Toast a no-baby month? Become -

he tire of hearing about her arthritis? Did they wonder
about their future together the year he taught her how to
drive? The year his mother babysat and cleaned her
oven? Was he cheap? Was she boring? .
Did he have an annoying habit of picking his teeth .
with his tongue and making a clicking noise that drove :
her up the wall? Did she say every night for 30 years |
when he walked through the front door, ‘‘is that you?"’ ©
Did they really tove one another through fevers, flu, *
fatness, nausea, Irritability and sarcasm — or did they °
Just hang on? : *
Did they disappoint one another when the baby .
died, when he Jost his Job, or when she felt neglected? °

and she had put peppers In the meat loaf for 50 years?
Did he ever suspect she hated house slippers without |
heels, but buy them every Christmas? ' i
