If they knew what she looked like, they should have gone to the registered address later rather than risking a high speed chase
This is very sad but there is nobody to blame here but the driver. She made the choice to drive off at speed and cause a pursuit, any verdict other than to place the blame solely on her shoulders would be perverse and devoid of any sense.
Sadly they’ll be a 90 year IOPC/PSD investigation into the officers. The public and media will give them a witch hunt trial and already be found guilty.
Then after their lives, health and career ruined the IOPC will say they have no case to answer, but will suggest misconduct hearings anyway
A sad conclusion to stupidity and I feel for her family and friends. However she can only blame herself.
An old school friend’s mum was killed in a head on crash with joy riders. Grateful that no one else was hurt here as that is unfortunately all too common.
“Questions need answering.”
“We just want the truth.”
“Justice must be done.”
Just some of the phrases you’ll be hearing in order to distort this clear case of a person only having themselves to blame.

When a driver drives recklessly it’s a great outcome when they only kill themselves.
Okay….here I go, diving deep into a sea of downvotes….
Would it not make sense to leave insurance related offences to civil courts and bailiffs?
It still seems odd to me that failure to have an amount of money coming out of your bank FOR THIS AND TV LICENSES ONLY is under the remit of police and is a criminal offence.
Don’t insure your car, hit someone = crippling debt and your stuff being taken, rather than, don’t insure your car, nobody has been hit yet = 75mph police chase in a built up area.
Yeah I get it, why shouldn’t people pay insurance when you have to. But people don’t pay council tax too, and they get taken to court and made to pay one way or another, not chased down.
Doing it this way involves putting bystanders at risk, I don’t want running over because Aviva aren’t getting their £90 a month off someone.
Xena’s mother Catherine was called as a witness, and cried, recalling her ‘outgoing, kind, funny, kind, loving, very generous’ daughter as someone who would ‘help people even though she was struggling.’
I think I’ve heard every mother of a dangerous driver say this. She is clearly not caring, kind or generous if they start speeding down the road evading the police. Dangerous and stupid.
Seems to me that the problem solved itself.
…
Am I becoming too cynical?

It’s beyond me why people are infantilizing a grown up woman’s actions here.
Photo could be of anybody with too much make up, filler and teeth bleaching.
Somehow, the daily mail will end up with a sensational headline putting into question how the police officers involved got away with murder again.
Glad only she died and no one else got hurt because of her selfish actions. A danger to society but no chance for her do it ever again now
It’s completely reasonable and understandable for a single woman to want to immediately get as far away from Wayne Couzens as possible.
She took the exact action that would have kept Sarah Everard alive.
What do you expect from someone called Xena with turkey teeth?
What an entirely needless way to die.
Could’ve been avoided with points and a fine. Instead got caught out on two or three lies, then tried to make a break for it, as if police wouldn’t have just traced the vehicle plates back to her mum anyway and then dragged her to court for more than just driving without insurance. Not even any point to start a chase, cos she wouldn’t have gotten out of it.
All probably because she thought, in front of her friends, she would just blag her way out of it.
The mum and her friends has to deal with the consequence of loss from a series of stupid choices.
If I may offer the crumb of consolation that she died doing what she loved.
