A judge had erred in law in concluding that a faith healer charged with an offence under the Road Traffic Act 1988 s.7(6) had a reasonable excuse for refusing to provide a specimen of blood as he was likely to go into a trance at the sight of blood; there was a material difference between the sight of blood and the taking of blood, which the judge had failed to take into account.
