A P-plate driver who fatally hit British ultra-endurance cyclist Mike Hall will not be forced to give evidence to the coronial inquest into his death.
Ken Archer, counsel assisting, told the court on Wednesday that Bobb had proven to be a “highly suggestible” witness in interviews with police.
He said he should be not be compelled to give evidence.
“Mr Bobb has consistently said he simply did not see Mr Hall,” Archer said.
