The driver was foolish for representing himself.

He was convicted of failing to report a traffic accident (to the police)
and was then banned under the totting-up procedure.

But reporting is only compulsory in certain sets of specific
circumstances, one of which is that an injury has been caused. And if
the cyclist (who was completely at fault) said to the driver that he was
not injured and just wanted to go home), how was any third party
supposed to know differently - at the time?

A good advocate could have secured a "no case to answer" at that hearing.

What does any of that have to do with the case heard in Pendle?

Next month it'll be illegal in to look at google maps unless it is on a dash board mounted screen.

It's not clear how they'll enforce it. Glance down at your lap and you get pulled over? Paper maps are much more dangerous.

In a society that is always tweaking even the most marginal safety advantages it's surprising the freeways are still open to any lunatic.

In 10 years it is easy to imagine they'll only allow heavy vehicles and smart cars.

Has the cyclist been prosecuted yet?

Going through a red light.
Lying to the police (is that actually an offence? - I don't know)



"She said when the cyclist found his collar bone was broken, he reported the
accident, presumably wanting some compensation."

Cyclist looking for "compo" - surely not.

Relevance to the thread - and even the newsgroup:

No relevance at all.

Going back to the original article - so it's now illegal not to report a crime committed by someone else?
