He admitted guilt for "one charge of driving whilst his eyesight was such that he couldn't comply with the requirements of a prescribed eye test" relating to May. He has never been charged with any offence relating to killing Eilidh in February.

Well yes, I was only commenting on proof of defective eyesight in February.

At this point there should be pursuit of a review of the whole incident to end of trial case pathway as it would seem fairly evident that if it is determined that a driver who caused death was not competent, through physical attribute, then they should be tried for far more than just sub par eyesight. At the very least the public service mechanisms owe it to Eilidh's family to explain why what has happened, has happened the way it did. In my opinion they owe it to the wider public, especially vulnerable road users, why they have so comprehensively failed to protect us.
