Ben Cousins avoids conviction for 2009 traffic offence and splits from Ricky Nixon

Ben Cousins has avoided a conviction in court after police and a magistrate agreed to deal with a traffic offence via the court diversion program.


According police Ben Cousins performed an unsafe U-turn from The Esplanade in Brighton in April last year, then it is understood his car hit another vehicle.


The court was told Cousins had written a letter of apology to the victim and he is also to pay an indisclosed amount to an unnamed charity. 
 
The magistrate said Cousins was no different to any other motorist who could injure if not concentrating while driving. He said Cousins had shown no malice during the incident.
In other Ben Cousins news we understand that his manager Ricky Nixon has ended his dealings with Ben Cousins.


The pair have become increasingly frustrated over their business relationship recently and it is understood Nixon ended their relationship two weeks ago. Issues regarding the highly-publicised, but yet to be seen, Cousins' documentary and a separate book deal were part of the fall-out.
