Can someone please explain to me what the logic is behind diplomatic immunity? I don’t understand why being a diplomat negates you from being beholden to the laws of the host land.
I hope she doesn’t sleep at night.
This will likely be her only punishment other than being banned from returning.
Al,Will any of this help to prevent motorcyclists being killed on public roads ? Most car drivers have never even had the experience of their vehicle swapping ends. When you ride a bike amongst them, you are really asking for it. I would say this - when I was in the UK, the drivers were much better than they are in Australia. The British attitude towards speed is generally better. On the motorways, they used to freak me out with their competence. If we had roundabouts which appear out of nowhere on Australian roads, most of us would be dead.
Al your way of thinking is just plan silly and this accident was caused from no fault of the bike rider and a very big mistake on the driver who should face up to her mistake, she has killed a person who was just out at the wrong time and place, she needs to accept responsablity for her actions and face the full laws of the country she is in, no matter who she is.
As well her husband and his employer getting her out of the country so fast on a private jet at that needs to be addressed as well, all who were involved should be accounted for actions.
Its not going to bring back the person who got killed and no matter what becomes of it will not help the family of the rider, but running away from it doesn't help the riders family to recover from their lost, we all have a duty of care while on the road and no matter where we are in the world must face up to the music.
She would proberly just get a slap on the wrist for her mistake.

If indeed it is true that the US operated airbase allows driving on the right as in the USA
