Emma Way - Driver stupidity finally caught out

Internet notoriety.

FFS - how is coliding with a cyclist who is cyclign in a straight line not driving without due care and attention?

Thank god she wasn't a benefit cheat otherwise she'd be banged up.

three page NUTS spread.

possible I'm a celebrity shoe in?

How depressingly predictable.

Another lovely reminder that the law doesn't see us as people.

Unless of course it thinks we're to blame...

And she looks like a total plumb in front of the whole world. I'd say she's had her punishment tbh. It won't stop her being a prick but drawing a line under it now.

lets hope her name is added to the list of idiots to never insure.

I was vague because it's two or three chapters of a very big book on media law. If you would like to come to my office for a three-hour long personal reading you're welcome. Bring cake.

Honeytrap. You big flirt...

Two witnesses to the collision and cleared of careless?

@Bullheart Guilty, your honour.

Presumably she has to pay her brief too right?

No independent witnesses. The two defence witnesses were the victim and a friend of the victim. All too easy for the mags to say that's insufficient evidence.

She'll get, at the most, three points and a £60 fine.

However, my money is on her getting put on a course, no fine and no points.

Emma Way fined £337, ordered to pay £300 and 7 points added to her licence for fail to stop and fail to report collision.

Slightly more than Dammit expected.

If there isn't enough evidence to convict her on one of the charges, and she doesn't plead guilty, that's what it is and I much prefer a partial conviction to a lynch mob out over what was, quite frankly, an exceedingly minor incident compared to the deaths and serious injuries we hear about. Obviously, you can try to apply the 'broken windows' theory to driving, and I'd be with you for quite some distance on that, but she's had her day in court now. I guess appeals are probably not expected, so this issue is dealt with.

At the very least, the 7 points mixed with her age will make her insurance premiums almost impossible to afford.

With any luck, she'll be taking the bus to her non-existent job for the foreseeable future.

good point
silver linings start to appear

Or better yet she might have to ride there, see the error of her ways, embrace cycling, join this forum, endear herself to us, fall in love with someone off here and live happily ever after.

She does look like a complete moron in every pic though. Glad the points/fine was suitably hefty...

Presumably she has to pay her brief too right?

Might get legal aid given she lost her job. I'm sure her parents helped out though.

I expect she'll just drive uninsured.

At least the police take that seriously which means a conviction would be more likely.

How depressingly predictable.

This.

At least she didn't kill anyone. Then the sentence would've been tea and scones with the judge for a week.

It seems no foul deed goes unrewarded

Emma Way refused to comment as she left court, saying she had signed an exclusive TV deal.

Will probably pay the fine, cover her costs and leave her with enough money to buy a new motor...

Come Dine With Me pays that much?

Bet it's a lovely programme focusing on how this poor young girl was victimised by the press over a little mistake and a 'silly tweet', and how cyclists are ruining our roads and intimidating drivers...
