Michelle Thiele caused the two fatal crashes by failing to look to her left when entering the intersection.
Thiele caused the fatal crashes at a T-junction at Pompoota near the city of Mannum.
"Both died when that same motorist failed to give way to each of them at the same intersection," said deputy coroner Anthony Schapel.

Careless: Michelle Thiele |
In April 2000, Thiele caused a collision that killed car driver John Mitchell (69). In June 2007, at the same intersection, Thiele's car struck and killed 51-year-old motorcyclist Graham Bryant.
Thiele was fined A$426 (Rs 18,135) for failing to give way after the first accident.
After the second collision, she was sentenced to eight months in jail. On appeal to the Supreme Court, Thiele's jail sentence has now been wholly suspended.
