BEN Cousins has avoided a conviction after crashing into an elderly driver’s car last year.
Cousins (31) was charged with performing an unsafe U-turn in the Melbourne suburb of Brighton in April, 2009.
The Richmond midfielder appeared at the Moorabbin Magistrates Court today, where he was ordered to undertake a diversion order.
The order is aimed at deflecting first time offenders from the mainstream criminal justice system.
Cousins’ lawyer told the court her client accepted the diversion order but said the conditions were unusually strict.
The court refused to release the conditions of the order, which can include a donation to charity plus community service.
