1Opinion of the Court
Judge Harold R. Banke.
James M. Gilbert was convicted by a jury of reckless driving, and he appeals, pro se, from his conviction and from the trial court’s denial of his motion for new trial. An off-duty DeKalb County detective driving an unmarked police car spotted James M. Gilbert driving erratically on 1-285. Gilbert was closely following another car in the right lane of the interstate. Gilbert pulled into the left lane, pulled alongside the other car, and more than once swerved his Toyota into the other car’s lane of travel. The other car had to pull off the road to avoid a collision. Held:
