The driver was handed a six-month jail sentence suspended for 12 months at Northampton Crown Court and was ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £154.
She is also barred from driving for a year and will have to sit an extended to test to regain her licence.
When I saw the video yesterday on another sub I said to myself the car in front clearly caused that accident.
This entire junction is an accident black-spot, but typically it is from vehicles entering the 70mph dual-carriageway from the side-road.
The junction is being replaced with a traffic-light controlled roundabout. There will soon be 4 of these junctions along a 2.2 mile stretch of the A43.
A side story to this is that if the Army was operating a modern vehicle the injuries would very likely have been much less bad.
They operate a huge fleet of ancient Defenders which are nearly universally in a terrible state. Maintenance on them is extremely challenging because many of the maintenance support contracts expired years ago or the parts simply aren’t made any more. There has been a decades long project to replace them with as yet no decision made on what the new vehicle will be.
We already discovered in Afghanistan that these are totally unfit for purpose in a modern war, but it’s getting to the point where they are barely roadworthy for use in the UK.
