Yeah, that's odd, two witnesses to the collision and found not guilty. I guess there's doubt over the positioning.
The cyclist admitted in court that he didnt actually fall off his bike, he was pushed into a hedge, but stayed upright, that may have swayed the court.

Have to say, 7 points seems like justice and is more than a lot of offending drivers have got when they killed a person. Where is the logic in all of this?

300 fine, 337 costs, and seven meaty points on her licence. Silly, silly girl.
That should be her without a licence now she's more than 12 points.
That is of course if you believe all of what she put on twitter. Why no ban on going on twitter by the way?

[QUOTE 2777538, member: 259"]Wasn't she only up for due care and attention rather than careless driving?[/quote]

There is only "driving without due care and attention", and "dangerous driving" (plus additional offences of causing death by careless driving, and causing death by dangerous driving). She was charged with DWDCA, failing to stop, and failing to report.
 
Hope she wasn't training to be a management accountant with CIMA like me as it is exam week this week!

If she has been driving for less than 2 years and got more than 6 points it is immediate disqualification and extended driving test if more than 12 points.

[QUOTE 2777536, member: 1314"]Somebody on twitter reckons that as she's been driving for a short period, it means she has a 4 year ban?

She got done for not stopping and reporting; not for careless driving, as that was her word against theirs.[/quote]

I think they probably mean the New Drivers Act 1996 where there is a revocation if you accumulate 6 points or more within the first two years of passing your test for the first time.
