Feeling a lot better now. The court case I was involved in is over, I was facing a charge of careless driving following an incident in January this year involving my next door neighbour and his 17-month-old daughter. She was uninjured but very distressed, actually went under the back of my car while I was slowly reversing.
I had a lot of trouble getting the recommended legal advice, eventually found a great barrister through a website. Essentially, I paid him to do all the worrying. The case was scheduled for 11am today, it was all over 20 minutes before that time.
No conviction was recorded, I had to make a small donation to a road trauma charity and am on a 6-month good behaviour order. That should not be too difficult, my driving record for the last 5 years is completely clear.
