If anyone is seriously injured the scene is closed and treated as a potential crime scene (which, of course it is). The road will be closed for hours whilst every stone is turned. If there is /any/ evidence found to support a charge you can be absolutely certain that one will be brought. OTOH, if all attempts to find evidence fail, what would /you/ like to happen? A kangaroo court? A lynching? -- Matt B |

However, I see that the BBC have now changed their story and removed the police attempt to excuse the motorist. Not incorrect. I notice the change in the story, but as I said twice, I think the sentence referred to the rail crash, not the car crash. The proximity of the sentence to the one about the HSE indicates that this is so. Ok, slack English on their part, but it's pretty far from what you claimed. Face it, you're just getting all self-righteoously wound up about plod again - you do have a habit of doing this. clive |

I don't see why all footpaths are not turned into cycle paths. You still
have to give way to pedestrians on a cycle path, and so many cyclists ride on them anyway surely it would be better to educate people on how to share the space with peds instead of telling them they can't do it (which doesn't seem to work) Because it would lead to a rise in KSI rates per mile. |

All the funds that are squandered on rotting roadside "memorials"
should instead be collected and given to the surviving relatives to help cover the (often quite steep) funeral expenses. You mean the money that's spent on flowers should be given to the family to buy more flowers? |

The time a motorist pulled out of a side road and catapulted me across the bonnet of their car. I was injured (slightly) and had to object loudly to get the police to even write down any details when I reported it at my local police station. They investigated nothing, and they pursued nothing, despite the driver failing to report the accident in accordance with statutory requirements. regards, Ian SMith -- |\ /| no .sig |o o| |/ \| |
