Jurors were told the defendant had told officers he had been passing when a cyclist had been hit by a car, and that he left the scene as he felt there was "nothing he could do".
On his arrest, he said he had heard a "cry or scream" and looked in his mirror to see a woman lying in the road.
He allegedly said he did not know how she came to be on the ground and did not remember any impact.
