Wrong side of the road
« on: Oct 06, 2019, 03:31:11 PM »
American woman drives out of RAF base on wrong side of the road and kills a young lad.
I reckon as she drove out she thought for a fleeting moment she was in USA again and so was on right side of road.
That would be a big defense if she ever returns to UK
If the Buck stops here how can the Doe go all the way ?

No defence whatsoever.

It could be used as mitigation in her sentencing.

Funny how Brits can be extradited to the USA but not the other way round.

Absolutely terrible, a young life taken, and she's off

It's easily done. I'd been in the US for 8 yrs and came home to visit. Driving late at night into the town centre I found myself going round a roundabout the wrong way! No other traffic fortunately but a policeman waved me down and surprised me by accepting my explanation and apology.

I thought it was the diplomats who had immunity. Does that apply to all their deadbeat relatives as well?

Apparently yes

Thank you for the days, the days you gave me.
