This makes no sense to me

Woman and man both convicted of causing death by dangerous driving. He
was a passenger, but the conviction seems to be because he didn't
prevent her driving.

Please tell me there's more to this that meets the eye?

 

Hmm, a pillion passenger with a full licence sitting behind a learner
can be an 'accessory' (legally!) IIRC. Not the same thing though.

According to an older report he was charged with "Aiding and abetting
death by dangerous driving".

There's even a specific endorsement code for it under aiding and abetting
- I think it stays the same code but the last number changes.

 

My first ever license endorsement was for "Aiding and abetting a person to
ride a motorcycle without "L" plates". We were PUSHING the fucking thing (A
Sunbeam 500 outfit) coz it wouldn't start and I was 16 at the time.

I see cuntish laws are still knocking about.

This is (or was at least) the case when I was a motor insurance broker.
I think the last digit became a 2.

The other offence was "causing or permitting", which also changed the
last digit.

Too much time to think, too little to do.
