170 Alternative verdict for offence against s 169
(1) This section applies if, in a prosecution for an offence against section

the offence, but is satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that the
defendant is guilty of an offence against section 169 (5).
(2) The trier of fact may find the defendant guilty of the offence against
section 169 (5), but only if the defendant has been given procedural
fairness in relation to that finding of guilt.
