A 38-year-old man from Bournemouth, Dorset, handed himself in on Saturday after the accident in Poole. He was arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm and released on bail." An arrest on suspicion of causing GBH implies that the police have reason to believe that the injuries were inflicted deliberately. Causing GBH is certainly not the charge usually applied in cases of road traffic accidents. At least he was decent enough to surrender when he gave consideration to what he'd done. Or perhaps he just realised that he was going to be caught anyway due to forensic left at the scene. |

He reported within the required 24 hours. http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/418...st-hit-and-run This is a national newspaper. They would be overwhelmed if they ran 80-100 reports needed to cover the people killed/seriously injured by motor vehicles that day. I wonder how many took place on a crossing, how many drivers "fled the scene" and how many the police have put on "suspicion of..." |

It was cyclists' behaviour that led to the use of the phrase "hit and run", was it? Still, at least he's been charged. GBH, not bad. Agreed. Let's devoutly pray that some motorists face that charge. Breath, of course, should not be held. |

Try holding it for a week to start with. It'll save you the hassle of fixing your newsreader's reply format. |
