‘Foolish and criminal’\"CameronCameron Rogers leaving Manchester Crown Court(Image: Manchester Evening News)<\/p>\n

A man without a driving licence or insurance made a \u2018foolish and criminal\u2019 decision to get behind the wheel of his partner\u2019s car – before fleeing after hitting a nurse.<\/p>\n

Cameron Rogers, 26, lost control of the vehicle before mounting the pavement and smashing into a lamppost in Wythenshawe<\/a>. A court heard he hit a mental health nurse walking home from work.<\/p>\n

Handing him a suspended sentence, a judge told Rogers: \u201cIt should be to your eternal shame that you left the victim of your behaviour in the road.\u201d<\/p>\n

Manchester Crown Court<\/a> heard the nurse was walking home from a \u2018tiring and hard shift of difficult work\u2019 at 10.30pm on January 6, 2023. Before he crossed the road at the junction with Poundswick Land and Gladeside Road, he looked both ways.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe walked across the road and the next thing he was unconscious,\u201d prosecutor Hugh Barton<\/a> said. \u201cWhen he woke up he heard people saying ‘he’s alive’. He noticed a white car had crashed into a lamppost.\u201d<\/p>\n

Emergency services were called and quickly located Rogers\u2019 dad, who confirmed he was a passenger and his son was driving the car. Rogers, from Wythenshawe, later attended the police station and confirmed he had been driving.<\/p>\n

The nurse was kept overnight in hospital and was treated for injuries including a fractured humerus and a dislocated shoulder.<\/p>\n

In a statement he said he had a fear of crossing the road and was \u2018devastated\u2019 to learn that the driver left the scene and didn\u2019t come to his aid \u2018when one might have expected him to do so\u2019.<\/p>\n

The court heard Rogers told police he was driving his partner\u2019s car without her permission, was not insured and didn’t have a full licence.<\/p>\n

Amy Weir, defending, said: \u201cHe wasn\u2019t in possession of a full driving licence nor was he insured. The defendant is extremely remorseful.\u201d<\/p>\n

She added that the offences were \u2018out of character\u2019 and despite a difficult background, he had a stable home life with a young family.<\/p>\n

Rogers pleaded guilty to causing serious injury by dangerous driving.<\/p>\n

Sentencing, Judge Sarah Johnston said: \u201cOn January 6 2023, you made the very foolish and criminal decision to get behind the wheel of your partner\u2019s car.<\/p>\n

“It was foolish and criminal as you didn\u2019t have a driving licence and were not insured to drive that vehicle and you didn\u2019t have permission of your partner to drive it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rogers, of Mendip Avenue, Wythenshawe, was jailed for a year and four months, suspended for 18 months. He was ordered to carry out 80 hours of unpaid work and five rehabilitation activity requirement days. He was also banned from driving for two-and-a-half years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"‘Foolish and criminal’Cameron Rogers leaving Manchester Crown Court(Image: Manchester Evening News) A man without a driving licence or…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":445239,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8813],"tags":[748,30,393,4884,2465,16,15,2313],"class_list":{"0":"post-445238","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-manchester","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-courts","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-manchester","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom","15":"tag-wythenshawe"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115252447578912507","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/445238","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=445238"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/445238\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/445239"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=445238"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=445238"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=445238"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
