    If she has a solicitor why does she need you asking questions like this in a public forum? The solicitor can answer your questions, that's what he or she is paid for.

    Sounds like completely seperate cases. Careless driving is a criminal offence. Once criminal proceedings are complete the other driver can bring a civil suit for damages. In the civil suit your friends solicitor can claim contributory negligence on the part of the other driver in order to reduce the amount of damages.
