Counsel for the defence argued there was no proper identification, stating the witness could not recall what roads were taken and was not local to the area, submitting there was insufficient evidence that Mr Keown had been driving.

He might get off on appeal?  A friend of mine did jury duty one time.  It was a pub fight and it was all caught on CCTV.  After hearing the evidence, the judge dismissed the charges because the witnesses (who were likely drunk) couldn't agree on the time of the fight...  The law can be funny sometimes.
