Looks like she really had no idea of what was going on, she didn't appear to want to stop. Probably thinking 'what's this car driving towards me on the wrong side of the road for' ? Reply to this message | Report message

"No prosecution." If there's no prosecution, is there anything that can be legally done to stop her going out on the road again? Reply to this message | Report message

>> "No prosecution." >> >> If there's no prosecution, is there anything that can be legally done to stop her >> going out on the road again? >> At a guess she has agreed to give up her license in return for no prosecution, best result all round. Reply to this message | Report message

It's a dodgy ol' road, that A14 - I use it a lot and live about half a mile away. If it isn't HGV drivers attempting 'victory rolls', it's kamikaze ol' ladies. Driving home from London one night some years ago, I was overtaken by a car doing about 80 with absolutely no lights at all. Still, at least he was in the correct lane.

"BMW or AUDI?" To be honest UA, I was so shocked and it was so dark that I haven't got a clue! ;-) …………….and I referred to the driver as 'he', but it could just as easily have been a woman, or possibly a Martian. Reply to this message | Report message

Too windy. Deerstalkers with chin flaps for retention would work though. Reply to this message | Report message
