• Cycle helmet saves another doctor

    From Spike@21:1/5 to All on Thu Aug 24 11:04:07 2023
    The case of a driver who crashed into and nearly killed a cyclist has been described as a “stark reminder” of the dangers of drink driving.

    Following the conviction, Police Constable Gavin Newbury said “There is no doubt that if the cyclist had not been wearing a protective helmet this collision would have been even more serious.”

    PC Newbury... was he the defendant or part of the prosecution team?

    Holly Ann Davies was convicted, and PC Newbury’s role is, from the link, unclear…
