DANGEROUS driving can land motorists in jail for years.

One driver, Aaron Clare, was sentenced to eight years behind bars for dangerous driving in November after he killed a father with his BMW in May 2020.

Driving without due care or attention is a much less serious version of the above charge and rarely results in motorists getting much more than a fine.

Here are the Berkshire drivers who have been convicted of driving without due care or attention in the last four months.

Some of them were convicted after some very bad driving!

Lawrence Oliver

A Slough man overtook a long line of traffic forcing vehicles coming the other way to stop.

Oliver, of Tamar Way, was caught driving without due care or attention on Lower Richmond Road in London on March 16, 2021.

A court file indicates the 79-year-old was driving a Subaru when he ‘overtook a long line of traffic forcing vehicles on the other side of the road to stop.’

It was on the same date, October 10, 2020, that the 41-year-old was driving without care or attention.

She was fined £900 for the drink driving offence but was given no separate penalty for the latter offence.

Reading Magistrates’ Court gave her ten points on her licence at a hearing on November 9, 2021.

Agnieszka Wietchy

A Slough woman was fined after her conversation with a friend caused her to swerve across a motorway.

Agnieszka Wietchy, of Woodford Way, was driving on on the M25 in Hertfordshire in August 13, 2021, when she was spotted ‘continuously weaving’, according to a court file.

The court file indicated the BMW X5 driver ‘realised they were in the incorrect lane and crossed solid white lines’.

‘When questioned, the driver stated she was talking to a friend and not focused on the road’, the court file indicated.

At a hearing at Stevenage Magistrates’ Court last week, 46-year-old Wietchy was convicted of driving in a public place without due care or attention.

Here, she was fined £220 and made to pay £144 in court fees.

Wietchy was also given three points on her licence.
