A cyclist is outraged by the courts' handling of a case involving the wife of a former Scotland footballer who received a minimal penalty despite evidence of dangerous driving.
A cyclist in Scotland has expressed concerns about the courts' handling of road violence cases after the wife of a former Scotland footballer was given a lenient sentence. Cheryl McGregor, wife of former Scotland, Rangers, and Hull City goalkeeper Allan McGregor, received six penalty points and a £255 fine for using a mobile phone while driving.
This punishment came despite the cyclist, David Brennan, providing video footage of McGregor making a close pass and running a red light moments earlier. Mr. Brennan believes she should have been charged with careless or dangerous driving. The Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service defended its approach, stating that the resolution was outcome-focused and that pursuing other alleged offences would have resulted in the same overall sentencing outcome
