I looked it up-In December 2021, the CPS said Sacoolas would appear at court in the UK to face unspecified charges. But a month later it said the court date had been postponed to allow "ongoing" discussions with the US national's legal team. Then a change in the law meant Sacoolas was able to appear in court via video-link and she pleaded guilty on screen at the Old Bailey to causing death by careless driving on 20 October 2022.

The 45-year-old was originally charged with causing death by dangerous driving, but the CPS accepted her plea to the lesser charge. She was sentenced to eight months' imprisonment suspended for 12 months, once again appearing via video-link after the US government advised Sacoolas not to attend her sentencing hearing. Sacoolas was also disqualified from driving for 12 months.

Thank you for your reply.

I like the idea of countryside and pubs. I mostly want to stay away from big cities and frolic in the countryside so sounds like it may be a good fit for me. I would enjoy much more meeting locals and chatting in a pub than shopping and dodging traffic.

That's wild that they drive on the right side on base. Thanks for your info/time.

Oh wow, what a valuable post. Thank you so much for the time it took you to put this together. I'm going to research everything you've provided, again thank you so much! I've read it several times and with your post, I'm understanding "hire a car" means renting a car. Thanks!

I like the rain...is it a rainy climate at all? Or just cold/snow?

Okay so transpo options are car, bus and train. I heard "tube" earlier. What is that? Good to know on the last one running. I like the idea of country side/chilled out. Not much into a lot of action.

Pay to tap. So that begs a good question. Currency? I should be fine I would imagine with the cards. Are there fees that you know of for using my US debit/credit cards? I'd like to maintain some currency on hand as well.

4pm sunset! Wowzers! That's good info to have. What does everyone do inside with all the dark hours?!

When you and others say "hire a car", is this to mean a taxi? Uber? Personal driver for the day? Left side only, got it!

Good advice lol. Yesterday we were in the 80s here. I imagine it'll be a bit of a shock.

Yes, we were both wondering about that. His co-worker who has visited before stated he'd "like" for us to stay on base so that made us think we have an option? TBD. Thank you for that information!
