Low flying Sun wriggle is rejected
The old driver's wriggle is thrown out of court as a lie.
QUOTE: "A motorist who claimed that low sun had caused him to crash into a cyclist in the Scottish Highlands has been told that the sun would not have been low enough to affect his vision and that it would have been up to him to take more care if it had. The Press and Journal (link is external) reports that Cameron MacFadyen hit cyclist Mark Georgeson on the A832 between Muir of Ord and Tarradale Mains on June 28 last year. “He stated at the time of the offence that ‘the sun caught my eyes and next thing I hit something’. He did not stop immediately but proceeded for another 0.2 of a mile before pulling in to a lay-by. It is noted this is probably due to being in shock.” Sheriff Gordon Fleetwood said that at 7.30am the sun ///would not have been low enough/// (emphasis mine) to affect MacFadyen’s vision. He also said that had he been blinded, it was up to him to stop, slow down or take more care. Fleetwood fined him £450 and banned him from driving for four months. END QUOTE.
