Texting + Driving: Wall Convicted

An update came through on the newsfeed – Keisha Bianca Wall has been convicted of causing death by dangerous driving after reading a text she received while in her car.

An interesting side tale to this is that the original story says that her mother – a driving instructor – was also arrested and charged with dangerous driving, but the charge was later dropped. But what does it say now about here suitability to remain on the Register of Approved Driving Instructors?

By definition, her evidence is now questionable. At the very least she has concealed the true story by supporting her daughter’s version – which has now been shown to be fabrication.

It’s hard not to judge people when you hear stories like this.

Mind you. We haven’t heard the sentence yet. That’s due to be given on April 11th, and Wall is out on conditional bail.

EDIT 11/3/2011: The BBC is also covering the story.
