Woman who posted on twitter about knocking a cyclist over - Found guilty

People really hate cyclists. Especially taxi drivers, some of them will purposely push you into other cars for their own amusement.

Way refused to comment as she left court, saying she had signed an exclusive television deal

The other side have lawyers too.

Miss Way claims that the cyclist was to blame for the accident. Clearly the magistrates thought that having heard the evidence, there was reasonable doubt that the accident was caused by her driving at a lower standard than was to be expected.

The fact that she failed to stop and report the accident has to be considered separately.

Silly girl - who was to blame for the accident is unclear so I won't critique her driving (as so many are doing, despite her being acquitted on the due care charge...).

But to drive off and then tweet about it is foolish.

She's only sorry she got caught and about her Twitter post, she's not sorry about actually knocking the poor guy on the bike over. Idiot, I'm glad she lost her job and got 7 points for it, but can't fathom why she didn't get found guilty for the dangerous driving charge.

I would think that without any substantial physical evidence such as tyre marks, CCTV/dash-cam footage, or witness statements, it would be more difficult for the charges to stick, as the defense would have effectively countered any arguments they had.
