She's been got at by the lawyers.
"Admit nothing, If asked if the sky is blue deny having anything to do with it"

But it is correct with the court ruling as they did not lay blame for the accident with her. She may well be to blame but not according to any court ruling.That's incorrect. The charge was careless driving and doesn't necessarily have anything to do with fault. Someone could still be at fault in a collision but not be careless.
The fault will be decided by the insurance companies, if there is any claim.
As I said, the charge of careless driving doesn't have to have anything to do with who is at fault. She was just deemed not guilty of careless driving. Nothing else.But it is correct with the court ruling as they did not lay blame for the accident with her. She may well be to blame but not according to any court ruling.

Can i just add that this silly bint is in no way remorseful. She only regrets tweeting as it meant she got caught. She clearly still believes that had she not tweeted then she would have got away with what she did. Glad she lost her job and hopefully career. A pity she wasn't given a 2 year driving ban, forced to take a re-test to get her driving license back and fined £1,000 plus costs with £500 victim surcharge.
As with any criminal charge, you have to be able to be proved guilty beyond reasonable doubt. There wasn't enough there to be able to prosecute her for her crap driving. However for civil claims the proof needs to be only 50:50. So the cyclist involved in the collision could still have a good chance of making a successful claim.
Well given she's 22 with 7 points on her licence she effectively has. Imagine what her car insurance premiums will be like now? I'd be surprised if it wasn't an increase of at least 4 figures
The court did not rule that the collision wasn't her fault. It said she wasn't guilty of driving without due care and attention.
Two separate things.
Makes me mad - why doesn't someone ask her why she would drive away from an accident without checking to see if the other party was OK? And then decide not to inform the police or someone who could help but bash out an obnoxious tweet instead.
Apparently being 22 years old excuses it.
