OK - so the catering student is deaf and only has sight in her left eye. Although she was 4 miles from home, she only had left hand bends before she got home. The anorexic midget 80 year old was crossing the road from the right, did not see the car coming and was hit by the front bumper on the passenger side of the car. The student didn't see or hear this, got home, parked the car and climbed out of the door of the left hand drive car without looking round...
A perfectly reasonable excuse!
