A Driver will be fined after an accident in which a young motorcyclist was killed.

Ashra Bibi, 45, of Bathley Street, The Meadows, pleaded guilty to driving without due care and attention.

She was cleared of causing 21-year-old Christopher Lewin’s death by dangerous driving after a trial at Nottingham Crown Court this week.

Bibi had previously pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of driving without due care and attention, which carries a non-custodial sentence and a maximum fine of up to £5,000.

Mr Lewin came off his Kawasaki motorbike at about 3.30pm, on Friday, January 11, in Loughborough Road, near the junction with Boundary Road.

Bibi had her mother-in-law and two of her children in a Honda Civic. She had been travelling towards West Bridgford from the Nottingham Knight roundabout, near the fire station, when she turned right into a driveway, colliding with Mr Lewin’s bike travelling in the opposite direction.

Biba had denied causing death by dangerous driving.

After she was cleared, Mr Justice McCombe said his powers on the due care charge was a fine and he needed to see bank statements and ownership of property before making a decision at sentence on July 25.

It’s wonderfully reassuring to know that if you really want someone dead, then you just have to kill them in your car. The most you can get is a £5000 fine. I bet that works out cheaper than hiring a hitman.

I wonder how many more people will have to be killed on English roads before we decide that “driving without due care” that results is a fatality should carry a manslaughter sentence?

I have yet to experience the new Wembley Stadium, so time to do it in style.

I have two tickets for the England vs. Czech Republic in August (which is four days before my 30th birthday)

And the seats are only three rows back from the pitch and behind the goal. Quality!
