Scofflaw motorist leaves woman suicidal

"Riaz has pleaded guilty to driving without due care and attention,
failing to stop at the scene of an accident, failing to report an
accident and no insurance. He has been warned he faces jail.

The court was told Riaz, of Whiteways Road, Grimesthorpe, fled on
foot, injuring himself and leaving the stricken casualties lying in
the street.

About 20 minutes later he rang the police claiming his car had been
stolen.
He said three men had attacked him, beaten him unconscious and
taken the vehicle."

Still, at least he wasn't a cyclist, so he can be dismissed as OT.

But then again he didn't have insurance to cover any injuries or losses
caused by his actions, rather like cyclists.
So, in a kind of roundabout way it is on topic.

I don't know about you, but my feelings are very much that it is high
time that driving (a motor vehicle) without due care and attention,
failing to stop at the scene of an accident, failing to report an
accident and driving without insurance were all made offences.

And in breaking news 32,999,999 motorists didn't do that.

Do you think it would be a good idea if registration plates were fitted
to motor vehicles, so they could be identified & traced?

It doesn't seem to stop motorists doing it, does it?

Super idea! And it's about time these people were forced to pass some kind
of test before they're allowed to drive these things. Upon passing this
test, the person could be given some sort of ID card with their name and
photograph on it, and their details recorded on one of those new-fangled
database things, to let others know that they're qualified to operate a
motor vehicle car-weapon.

And neither did any cyclists.

It's been tried, but they still manage to **** things up.

In cases like this, it might help to have an electronic tag for
drivers similar to those implanted in other animals which may stray.

Similar level of injuries and losses caused, obviously.
