Remember the car tweeter and the cyclist

Failure to stop, failure to report, 7 points £637
Why no offence of driving without due care- was it the cyclist that clipped her or neither?

How much do you think solicitors fees

An accident does not automatically mean an offence of careless driving has been committed, thats probably why.

Just guessing here but they could prove failure to stop and failure to report, proving exactly who was at fault in the collision would have been much more difficult.

Wow, considering I was nearly knocked off my bike this morning by a chelsea tractor who pulled out in front of me it seems like a pretty small deterrent.

I think it's fair and she clearly won't do it again. I'd agree that she actually kind of got away with it not being found guilty of the 2 more serious charges.

22 year old, blonde, accountant. From an affluent area.

Wonder what the outcome would have been if it was a 22 year old lad, bricklayer, from a less "well-off" area.

Female, blonde and rich. Definitely not guilty of anything. Ever.

Sideways, I take it you've never been to Watton...

It's a fking hole. Ever been to the Central Holiday Park that is Thetford, in Suffolk? Well Watton is Norfolks equivalent. Seriously, a dump, full of inbred s who refer to everyone as "buh".
