A hard-working family man has been spared an immediate prison sentence after his careless driving caused the deaths of two women on the A47.
Both Ms Green, 78, who previously owned Fritton Post Office before becoming a mobile hairdresser, and her passenger Mary Matthews, both from Beighton, died as a result of their injuries.
Nortcliffe, of Whitchurch, Shropshire, had previously entered guilty pleas to causing death by careless driving, with Norwich Crown Court hearing he made no attempt to brake or to return to his lane after entering the oncoming carriageway for around three seconds.
