Woman in dock for pavement driving and GBH

Warning - lots of wriggling by the accused.
QUOTE:
"Mr Lofthouse told the jury: 'By driving at him deliberately and knocking him off she intended to cause Mr. Edgely very serious harm. 'By driving into the front of the salon she was reckless about the collateral damage and her driving over that short period was very dangerous indeed.

'She also caused substantial damage to a silver Mercedes Sprinter van that was parked.' When questioned by police Pyne claimed the accident had been outside of her control.

HERE'S THE WRIGGLE.

'She said she had children in the car and was panicking because the car would not start and an involuntary motion caused it to lurch onto the pavement,' Mr Lofthouse said.

'The lurch onto the pavement was not caused by an involuntary movement of the car.

'She got back into the car, in anger, the red mist descended and she chose to drive into Mr Edgely.'"
