I’m still amazed nobody made more noise about the fact she wasn’t charged.

One can only possibly wonder why the usual suspects complaining about two tier policing and people getting away with crimes (even when convicted with lengthy sentences, yeah makes no sense) when they should be punished didn’t seem too bothered about this.

    it would be difficult to accept this one without evidence.

    Sorta not the point. We are talking about the person being accused. So reasonable doubt is in her defence.

    It is down to the prosecution to either prove this is false. Or prove she had reason to know it was unsafe for her to drive.

      You are right. Is a hitherto episode of epilepsy a good defence for dangerous driving in general?

      I guess it could come down to whether or not the person has previous incidents of dangerous driving or they have footage or other evidence to suggest she wasn’t epileptic. If there’s no physical evidence or subsequent seizures. (I know I’m speculating and - you are right - we should assume innocence and that her account is right until shown not to be).
