Isabelle Cadis, aged 55, failed to adequately stop at an intersection, obstructing the roadway as motorcyclists approached at speeds of 50mph.
Despite making desperate attempts to evade a collision, both bikers crashed into the vehicle at high speed, sustaining multiple fractures.
This incident took place shortly before 11am on June 8 of the previous year on the B1108 Norwich Road at Carleton Forehoe, near Wymondham.
Cadis, residing on Holkham Road in Wells-next-the-Sea, entered a guilty plea at Norwich Magistrates’ Court to two offenses of causing serious injury through careless driving.

Prosecutor Stephen Munton stated that she executed an “unsafe manoeuvre” when her Ford Fiesta Zetec “failed to stop at the junction and subsequently remained in the lane, resulting in the collision”.
“These are serious offences concerning the nature of the injuries inflicted and their consequences,” he further emphasized.
The motorcyclist was rendered unconscious with a fractured pelvis, broken leg, five broken ribs, and a fractured shoulder, while his passenger suffered a fractured cheekbone, broken arm, and pelvic injuries.
The court was informed that they had been approaching the intersection from the Kimberly direction when the car quickly exited from Barnham Broom Road, leaving them with no time to avoid impact.

The bike rider reported to police investigators that the crash occurred despite him having slowed down and exercised extra caution in the wooded stretch of the road leading to the intersection.
The roadway was closed for several hours to facilitate the response of emergency services, including ambulance and fire crews.
Magistrates enforced an interim driving ban and postponed sentencing until March 20, requesting a comprehensive pre-sentence report.
The court was informed that the starting point for sentencing was 12 months’ imprisonment or a high-level community order.
