Bus driver who knocked down e-scooter rider escapes driving disqualification
Stage: Sentence
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: There is no mandatory driving disqualification associated with the offence, Judge Crowe was told at Trifonov's sentence hearing last week. Judge Crowe said a headline sentence of 18 months was justified in the case, before she imposed a sentence of 12 months which she suspended in full on strict conditions.; Judge Crowe said she needed to consider the matter and she adjourned the case to today for finalisation.
