Sounds like she deliberately tried to run him over and then lied about it.
That's about the size of it.Sounds like she deliberately tried to run him over and then lied about it.

A surprisingly decent sentence!
I agree, a jail term sends out the right message, and also this is finally a case where someone is convicted of using a vehicle as a weapon, which so often gets ignored and labeled "careless driving" by the CPS.Will she ever be allowed back behind the wheel of a vehicle again? Sadly, they don't dole out lifetime bans often enough.
Perhaps drivers convicted of serious offences like this should be restricted to vehicles painted luminous pink so other drivers and the police can identify them easily.

If she can afford to lease/buy/run a Q7 she can afford the inflated premiums for a double convicted driver. There will always be an Insurer stupid enough to take on a risk as they won't have been the ones paying out for the £20,000+ bill.Edited by Mr Gear on Saturday 7th November 11:34

Good, she's no business being on the road.
I'd also hope the cyclist had a decent talking to about whatever part he may have played in the incident, all the raging and kicking of cars (if that happened as was reported) just shouldn't go unpunished in incidents like this. of course it doesn't justify the actions of this nutjob woman at all, but if both parties had just counted to ten and gone about their merry way like the adults they are, the whole situation would maybe not have happened. Having said that, she sounds like she needs to be off the road, so well done!!

Out automatically in half of that sentence probably less on a tag for this crime don't forget. So less that 1.5 years in a cushy women's prison watching TV learning to cook etc plus day trips out for rehabilitation.
What I hear via the mrs who works in forensic psychiatry the womens prisons are anything but cushy. She might do ok if she turns rug muncher overnight.s3fella said:

It's easy to get caught up in the moment and not do the counting to 10. I think his autism may have played a part in him not doing that though.I'd also hope the cyclist had a decent talking to about whatever part he may have played in the incident, all the raging and kicking of cars (if that happened as was reported) just shouldn't go unpunished in incidents like this. of course it doesn't justify the actions of this nutjob woman at all, but if both parties had just counted to ten and gone about their merry way like the adults they are, the whole situation would maybe not have happened.

No excuse to go kicking cars though. I am sure that it played a part in this woman's nutterness and rage. I hope someone explained that it is not the sort of thing he should be doing, irrespective of the provocation, life too short and all that. Maybe they did, maybe he got a caution, who knows.
Anyway, I hope he learned from the incident. You'd like to think that this bint in the audi will learn something too, but I'd not hold my breath.
