Mobiles and driving don't mix
A motorist who was texting on her mobile phone when she hit and killed a cyclist has been convicted of causing death by dangerous driving. Kiera Coultas could now face up to 14 years in prison after killing 19 year old Jordan Wickington at a busy Southampton junction in February 2007. She is due to be sentanced later this month.
It is now routine for police to seize drivers' mobile phones at the scene of serious accidents and examine them to determine if the phone was being used at the time of the incident.
