Oliver Heywood of Woodgreen was convicted this morning of driving without due care and attention before he killed my pony Juma in Roger Penny Way in 7th August, 2021. He admitted when giving evidence that he had seen Juma when he was three car lengths from the road but did not slow down and then 'the pony came out of nowhere and jumped on to my bonnet and then jumped off again.' He was fined £600 and costs of £600+ and disqualified for 6 months by a District Judge. At the time the police officer. estimated that the driver was travelling well in excess of the speed limit from the length of the skid marks but was unable to say so in court.
