Quit right to .... JAILED for three years.

[hard top]

Motorist who ran out of fuel on the M25 before her cousin was killed when their car was hit by a lorry is JAILED for three years in first case of its kind in UK.

Judge Jonathan Seely, sitting at Chelmsford Crown Court, said Langton had 'deliberately chosen to run out of petrol on a motorway at night'.

He said she thought an emergency organisation such as the AA or RAC 'would come to sort out the problem'.

He continued: 'You drove a substantial distance, past a service station and past numerous exits where you could have left the motorway safely.

'You continued to drive knowing that you were about to run out of petrol and you couldn't possibly complete your journey. You drove in lane three and were overtaking vehicles at a time when you knew your car was going to run out of petrol on a motorway which is particularly dark and unilluminated in places.'

Good decision

Lorry driver Cheshire, a former Company Sergeant Major in the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers, was carrying a load of chilled produce for Lidl when his vehicle hit the rear offside of Langton's stranded car.

Langton and Cheshire both pleaded not guilty to causing the death of Ms Cooper by dangerous driving and were acquitted.

Cheshire also denied an alternative charge of causing her death by careless driving and denied causing serious injury by dangerous driving to Yasmin Fry and Tammy Langton.

But he was convicted by a majority of 10-2 of causing death by careless driving but cleared on all other counts.

It ain't the dope that makes people stupid, it's the stupidity that does it. Or so I've heard, officer.

Just think of the poor families left behind
