It is possible that the police believe that a helmet could have prevented death so a charge of "causing death by dangerous driving" might not be appropriate. If they think that they should let the judge and jury examine the evidence and make a decision. It does not explain why there was no prosecution for careless driving.

I have just seen the post from Spindrift sent while I was writing my comment. It is interesting. I do not know if Mrs Purcell is to blame or not but I think it is essential that her driving behaviour is examined and tested in a court of law.
