A CARELESS driver has been found guilty after colliding into a car on the M1 motorway.

Gibril Abdi, aged 28, of Vartry Road, Haringey, received five points on his licence and a fine.

At around 8.15am on March 6 this year, Abdi collided with a car that had been involved in a separate crash on the motorway, northbound between junction 13 and 14.

The court heard how despite a car being stationary in the lane in front of him, Abdi did not slow down and collided with the car.

Abdi was charged on 24 August.

Abdi appeared at Aylesbury Crown Court on Monday, October 31 and was found guilty of one count of careless driving.

Investigating officer, PC George Woellwarth, of the Joint Operations Roads Policing Unit, said: “Thankfully the occupants of the car had already gotten out and were not injured.

“He has now been fined and received points on his licence as a result.

“This case serves as an example, showing the importance of paying attention to the road ahead of you and also making sure that if you break down or are in a collision then you get out of your vehicle and move out of the live carriageway.”
