Apologies, schoolboy error. If there's a link in the article, always read before posting
Accident was on 24.10.16, police interview driver 07.12.16 the delay being either tracing through a lease company or police incompetence. Driver admits driving along the road at the time, but apparently nothing else; a poor interview? No mention of the car being examined.
The defence would appear to be 'prove it was him'.
Poor result.
Something is not right about the Ade Azeez case, did the police not investigate anything? If his wing mirror came off, surely they could trace that to his car? The witness got a letter wrong on his reg, but was she to be expected to be able to identify car makes, at speed, they all look alike to me.
It appears that his defence lawyer has told him to keep quiet, knowing that the system is loaded in his favour of he does so.
I also note that on Azeez's Twitter profile, he describes himself as 'Christian', I wonder how his chosen deity views his actions...
That the only letter identified incorrctly was a U and a V so extremely similar gives us ammo to say the sheriff is a cunt.
I know that Scottish law is different, but check the reg the witness gave, probably came back 'no trace'. Have a tinker through possible combinations - as BBS pointed out 'U' and 'V' is an obvious one. Hey presto! a very similar car presumably registered in the area (or not if leased)
Ask the owner who was driving at the time, if not one and the same, speak to the driver. Check the car for recent damage. What went wrong?
Re: Footballer cleared of hit and run.
"He was accused of driving too quickly, undertaking another motorist and hitting Robert McKelvie so hard that the wing mirror came off."
I wonder if he asked for his wing mirror back.
I thought perhaps he was coming down a big hill and failed to get round the corner but a quick Google shows its flat.

It does look like they were actually trying to break the window, how dumb is that? It could so easily of killed him. That would of been a classy Darwin award right there.
Had to laugh. Directly oppisite that window on the other side of the street is a Health and Sports Central Injury Clinc

Was the shop wearing a helmet?
I hope he was wearing hiviz also - it would have been a tragedy had he been injured.
Actually thinking about it, maybe the shop should have been hi-viz?
Were they wearing a helmet?
I hope so otherwise he will be facing a 60 NZ dollar fine as well as a broken shoulder
