Puttock denied the offence, but pleaded guilty to an alternative charge of causing serious injuries by careless or inconsiderate driving. Georgia Donohue, appearing for the prosecution, said this plea was acceptable and a trial would not be sought on the dangerous driving charge. Judge Paul Thomas KC adjourned the case for a pre-sentence report to be prepared. 'It will not be an immediate prison sentence,' he told the defendant. Puttock was re-admitted to bail, and will return to be sentenced on July 2. He was handed an interim disqualification after his guilty plea, with the length of his full driving ban to be confirmed at his sentencing hearing.
