Emma on Way to court

[snorri]

Norwich Magistrates

"when a car clipped him" .
"Clipped" sounds like such a gentle coming together and was the word used in the press report describing the collision which killed an Edinburgh cyclist.. The second cyclist killed by driver Gary McCourt.

I read somewhere that Blockbuster have revoked her membership too. The horror.

Must be bad, blockbusters need all the customers they can.

Is it too soon to point out the type of vehicle involved? After all there were innocent children involved.

Is it too soon to point out the self-gratification artist driver had been driving through floods before this? Methinks he may have been looking for floods to drive through?

He said: "My 4x4 is like a monster truck, stands about 7ft (2.2m) high and is fitted with a snorkel exhaust. We'd already driven through some flooding, but as I went into this I thought 'It's deep' so put the car into reverse.

Round my way we had a cyclist "brushed" by a car at a pinch point recently. Car as fine filament tipped wand for applying blusher to the peachy cheeks of women. Cyclist then "lost his balance", struck head on kerb and died. All very unfortunate.

£637 + 7 points doesn't sound much but I guess given that she also lost her job, that's something. Awful woman.

Still not sorry for driving like a twunt, only sorry for the idiotic tweet, and still got her head up her arse as far as her guilt is concerned, still trying to blame the cyclist she hit.

I'm glad she lost her job, but would have preferred an even steeper penalty, like an 18 month ban....minimum.

"It is the biggest regret of my life so far."

Give it time love.

It's one extreme to the other. That cancer specialist murdered a cyclist & nothing happened to her. Then poor old Emma way dinks a guy with her wing mirror resulting in her life been ruined. This country is so messed up.

Thing is if she had expressed remorse or stopped to help the cyclist like any normal person would, she would have been dealt with a lot less harshly. She has rightly reaped what she has sown. Only an idiot would do something illegal then tweet about it for the whole world to see....and then try and defend her stupidity and blame the victim.

I very much doubt you'll find any sympathy for her here....

However I do agree with you on the other part...about the cancer woman case...just dreadful sentencing.

Cmon do you honestly believe that someone would tweet what she did if for one moment if they thought they had been driving recklessly , she rightly or wrongly believed the cyclist was at fault for clipping her mirror , she did leave the scene and was rightly prosecuted and convicted for this , the tweet was stupid but not in any way illegal .
Her only crime was leaving the scene of an accident and that had no detrimental effect on anyone !

 

[rams1de]

She's signed a TV deal, 'Emma's Way' sounds a good title for a sit-com?

Are you completely mad?

She didn't murder anyone.

[QUOTE 2778050, member: 45"]Yes. Your phone is personal. It's a close friend. And your followers are close friends Twitters forget that they're not sitting in the corner of a wine bar with their mates and talk rubbish as if they are. They forget that a tweet can go worldwide in minutes.[/quote]

I honestly can not believe anyone would be that stupid , I think the tweet was a joke in bad taste but not malicious.
