Suspended Sentence For Taxi Driver "Blinded By The Sun".

[classic33]

But hitting another road user as a result isn't.

That's just the driver thinking, and feeling, that everything else on the road will simply move aside.

You must have been blinded by low sun in the north, then(!)

Not whilst heading north, around 6-7am in the morning. In January or June.
And if I've felt that the sun is affecting my forward vision, I've stopped as soon as it was safe to do so.

... and what's weird - and apparently hard for most internet posters to understand - is that you can BOTH be right!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes. And in that case, we were both right.

I absolutely detest driving anywhere within the BD postcode area, it is the wild west, the standard of driving is beyond appalling, if anyone remembers watching Police Interceptors on TV when it was filmed around Bradford & Leeds may have thought it was exaggerated for TV, believe me it was dumbed down, an example, Scotchman Road has traffic calming chicanes in, it's a 20mph limit, I saw a learner driver, going along, perfectly correctly, being followed by an Audi and a Golf VR5, which as they cleared the last chicane halfway along Scotchman Rd, passed the learner driver either side, then raced each other to the bottom of the road, this bit is at a 30 mph limit, doing in excess of 60 mph
