She said: “The defendant was driving a Hyundai, and was approaching a roundabout. The cyclist was going straight on, and there was a collision.”

The court heard Evans was ‘devastated’ by what had happened.

Magistrate Christine Shaw was told Evans had no points on her licence, and since the crash she had reduced the amount of time she spends behind the wheel.

Evans was given a £181 fine and ordered to pay costs of £85 and a surcharge of £20. She also had six points put on her licence.
