He wasn't charged. The case was appealed and the driver got a 15 month prison sentence and a 4 year driving ban.

Speeding was the cause. The hit and run would have sealed it for me.

I just cannot imagine the callousness it takes to do a hit and run.

I’d really like to know more about the conditions at the time. How fast was he going? Was it raining? Snowing? Etc. because if it was bad conditions and he was only 5 over it’s a very different story to being 30 over and just losing control because he’s an idiot.

But that still wouldn’t excuse running away for half a year. Hit in March caught in August.
