Melissa McKelligott, 44, ignored a 'give way' sign and smashed into several cyclists, leaving them with lifelong injuries.
A driver who left cyclists with lifelong injuries by ploughing into the heart of their peloton during a club run has been banned from driving.
The court was told that the cyclists were part of a larger group undertaking a ride through the Perthshire countryside when the accident happened. "Mr Barr broke his right hip and required a hip replacement. He received physio until December 2022. The hip is 75 per cent repaired and that is as good as it's going to get.
Solicitor Pauline Cullerton, defending, said McKelligott, from Warrington Crescent, Edinburgh, had a US licence which allowed her to drive in the UK from April 2022 for 12 months. The court heard that one cyclist saw Ms Wall being "catapulted" through the air and heard her scream as she hit the ground. Mr Barr was dragged along the ground, while Mr Mills hit his face on the accused's car door. A witness reported seeing "bicycles strewn across the junction and a large cloud of dust," and McKelligott's car mounted on a nearby grass verge.
