Also, regards the FedEx driver. Prosecutors will normally go for a higher more serious charge if there’s a chance of getting a guilty verdict, with the chance that may fail but a lesser verdict (in this case DBCD) will be proven. It happens often when people are tried on a murder charge and end up guilty of manslaughter.
The big question is why would the prosecution see it as so important to try to get the Fed Ex driver tried for dbdd rather than just accept his plea of guilty to dbcd.In addition to his defence advising guilty to dbcd rather than dbdd based on the same evidence in front of them.Bearing in mind the potentially even more severe penalty if he’s found guilty at trial of dbdd than pleading guilty to it now ‘if’ that’s what the evidence shows. 
It’s about interpretation of the law. It’s rarely black or white whether it’s DD or CD, it’s how the evidence is put at trial and how the jury Interprate that evidence and the conclusion they come to. The prosecution will see it as their duty to the deceased to go for as serious a charge as possible, whereas the driver going guilty to DBCD or DBDD could be a difference of many years in prison.
at the end of the day itl be media hype…the judge covering his bum,racism and reverse racism,the prosecution going for the mega conviction so that closer to d day,they can make the drivers breif definately agree to cop a slightly lesser charge with no wriggling.itl end up a pc load of pish one way or the other.
id suppose that for whatever the reason the flipflop stopped,then he caused nothing other than stopping.
trucks stop on the motorway for various reasons.for 12 mins,nobody else had a problem till turban boy and the white dude came to greif.
the flop was over the limit and can be done for that plus a revoked licence.but all he did was stop for reasons undisclosed sofar.surely his barrister will argue that point?
life devastated,marriage breakdown.alien in a foreign country,6 week waiting list to get on jeremy kyle.
there will be all sorts of personal drama for the poor flipflop once he gets his thinking cap on.
Who will be paying for the drivers defence, will the firms (insurance) pay or will they have to foot it thenselfs?
It would be fascinating if the trial took a holistic approach- that human beings are diurnal creatures who are supposed to be asleep at night, and the accident occurred because of errors of judgement made by all three drivers who were forced into an unnatural work pattern for the benefit of their masters when they should have been asleep. Won’t happen, obviously.
