You may remember postings on here about Zak Carr being killed on the A11
last October. Basically he was rear-ended by a terminally unobservant fule
as far as I know.
At long last, someone has been actually charged in this sad matter.

It says, "A man was today due to appear in court facing charges over the
death of a champion cyclist.
Donald Pearce, 48, of Colman Road, Norwich, has been charged with causing
death by reckless driving following the death of Zak Carr last year.
Following his arrest by police, Pearce was bailed to appear at Norwich
Magistrates Court today."
Can those who know the technicalities of the law advise me, please - I
thought that 'death by reckless driving' had been changed to 'death by
dangerous driving' some time ago. Am I thinking completely out of my tree
here??
If it is the case that it was changed, I hope that it's just the reporter
getting it wrong and not the guy being incorrectly charged and going to get
off on a technicality...
Cheers, helen s
