    Default Careless driver

    Motorist who pulled out, didn't see other driver overtaking

    A DRIVER, pulling out from a line of traffic to overtake, was hit by a motorist who had already started the same manoeuvre.

    It led to John Brackenbury, being charged with careless driving. He pleaded guilty at Wick Sheriff Court and was fined £200.
    It was stated that the 74-year-old, of 29 Brawl, Strathy, had failed to observe the other, overtaking, vehicle coming "flying through" and the result was a collision causing damage to both. The accident occurred on the A836, on September 29, last year.
    Sheriff Andrew Berry said it was clear there had been " moment's inadvertence" on the accused's part.
    In addition to the fine, Brackenbury incurred three penalty points.
