Hi jkkerr and sara3,
I'm only getting my info via my sister and not via my niece and her husband. So don't know every detail. In fact although my sister realizes I'm trying to find out via the answerbank anything that my ease his worries ,even if only a little, my niece doesn't.
Jkkerr, The group of youths at the kerbside were outside a nightclub, the pedestrian who he hit was on his way to join them, .The police investigations have confirmed he was well under the speed limit, what speed ,I have know idea. He was driving a Mazda sports car (LH drive) which may have some relevance to not seeing the pedestrian and maybe the height of the car may have contributed to his injuries.? I can only assume that he may have given the group of youths a wider berth, which is what most of us would do, and that his concentration would have been more in their direction.
Sara 3 , My sister has mentioned there were witnesses, but again an assumption, they would be the group at the kerb, who are friends of the pedestrian. One can only hope that they would be honest enough and give a true account.
Sorry for being very vague, but I will be passing any info onto my sister, who will speak to her daughter.
Certainly community service and a lesser fine will be possible good news.
Many thanks again to all who are contributing.
