A short-sighted taxi driver has been jailed for just nine months for shunting a classic car so hard it ‘folded like a penknife’ – killing the driver.
Kugannesan Balasubramaniam, 34, has been convicted of causing death by careless driving after ramming his Peugeot people carrier into the back of the 1963 MGB convertible roadster at 48mph.
‘Inspirational’ teacher Nick Sennett, 58, who had hired the classic car for a few days, suffered serious head injuries when his car was shunted forward violently near Paddington in London.
He was knocked unconscious and paramedics spent an hour trying to save him after the incident in April 2013, but the economics teacher was pronounced dead at the scene.
The court heard how the minicab driver was overtired after working 90 hours in the previous seven days for the cab hire company One to One and was speeding.
He had just collected a sixth-form student from Heathrow Airport and was taking her to an address in northwest London when the collision occurred.
‘He was over-tired when he was driving and over-tired in circumstances where he had gone into that situation for commercial gain,’ said prosecutor Nick Bleaney.
The short-sighted driver also failed a basic numberplate-reading eye test when officers attended the scene, Southwark Crown Court heard.
Balasubramaniam told officers at the scene that the vintage car pulled suddenly in front of him.
But a tracking device inside the vehicle recorded the minicab driver was doing 48mph on the 40mph road and he was convicted by the jury.
