A woman motorist who was sentenced today after she admitted causing the death of a motorcyclist through dangerous driving has escaped time in prison.

Trina Doyling’s car collided with a bike driven by 52-year-old David Santucci on November 8, 2006. She pleaded guilty to causing his death during a Supreme Court hearing last month.

Puisne Judge Carlisle Greaves yesterday sentenced Doyling to six months in prison, suspended for 12 months and recorded 12 demerit points against her driver’s license, which automatically disqualifies her from driving any vehicle for two years.
