Default Fat driver found guilty of CDDD

Will be sentenced later.
QUOTE:
"Sleep apnoea suffering motorist Neil Urwin has been found guilty of causing the death of a cyclist by dangerous driving.

Urwin had been warned the day before ploughing into Andrew Charlton that he should not be driving due to his sleeping disorder.

He ignored the medical advice to go fishing and drove into the back of Mr Charlton on a country road in Northumberland .

Urwin had admitted causing death by careless driving but jurors today convicted him the more serious charge of causing death by dangerous driving.

Urwin, 56, of East Acres, Hexham , was remanded in custody following the verdict and will be sentenced this afternoon."

Default Fat driver found guilty of CDDD - widow speaks

What a remarkable woman.
QUOTE:

'Eventually the police told me you had been under investigation for sleep apnoea. I later found out you had been advised not to drive. Shame on you. If you had followed their advice Andrew would still be alive.

'What was so important that afternoon that you ignored their advice, got in the car and knocked my husband off his bike and killed him? I like to imagine you are a decent man who has made a foolish decision, a decision you will live with for the rest of your life.

'I'm sure it must be beyond difficult to live every day knowing the consequences of your actions. However please remember you will always be the one that suffered least. Any punishment is nothing compared to our family's loss..

'There are no winners in this case. Someone said to me recently that to understand all is to forgive all.

'We are all just humans and it's in human nature to sometimes make errors of judgement. I just hope some good can come from this and lessons can be learned by other to prevent more tragic accidents.

'It's time now for both our families to move forward. I know if you could turn back the clock you would and for what it's worth, I forgive you.'
