...to 150 hours community service.
A friend was killed on her bike by a reckless driver near Bath last year, leaving her 1 year old son without a Mum.
Here's a link to the news story - http://www.thisisbath.co.uk/news/Co...sh-driver/article-2105498-detail/article.html
The driver ploughed straight into the back of her bike on a wide straight road in which she would have had a clear view of the bike for over 20 seconds - she didn't stand a chance - no one would. Despite being in clear view for this amount of time the judge described it as a "momentary lapse of concentration" on the part of the driver.....
The driver then lied about the bike swerving into her path (CCTV showed the whole thing and neither car or bike deviated), and answered all police questions "no comment".
Tragic.
Justice? Not sure about that, but I hope her family can now try to move on with their lives.
