Harry Thomas Little is is seen arriving at Downing Centre Courts in Sydney, Monday, February 8, 2021.
A police officer was driving at 133km per hour in a 70-zone a second before he crashed into a grandmother, leaving her with a severe brain injury, his trial has heard.
But Harry Thomas Little, 42, honestly believed he had his lights and sirens on, his lawyer says.
The senior constable has pleaded not guilty to dangerous driving occasioning grievous bodily harm after his highway patrol car slammed into the driver side of Sydney woman Gai Vieira s Mercedes in September 2018.
Ms Vieira had been turning right onto Cronulla s six-lane Kingsway at the same time Little tried to chase down a Volkswagen whose driver was suspected of illegally using their mobile phone.
