Speeding and other criminal offences / Re: Possible Undue Care
« on: March 15, 2025, 01:39:16 pm »
Had a letter from the police confirming their view on my poor driving. I have to regard the letter as an official warning. I assume this is the end of their involvement but there is now a record against my name for a certain length of time.

It's been a bit of a wake-up call that despite a belief someone is a competent driver, you should always assume the idiots on the roads include yourself.

Speeding and other criminal offences / Possible Undue Care

A similar case to this one. Entering a road from a side road and misjudging the speed and distance of the other car.

Accident happened a couple of days ago. A couple of PCSOs were a few cars behind me and took over the scene as both cars were immobilised.


* Real cops took over the scene a few minutes later as PCSOs were not able to do what came next.
* Both parties cautioned and breathalysed. Both zero readings.
* 30 mph area mid afternoon in clear day.
* Couldn't take any details of witnesses etc as have hearing impairment which means I couldn't be sure what I was being told.
* Police wanted to take a statement there and then calling up a duty solicitor on the phone. Declined (hearing issue puts me at a significant disadvantage) but offered to come in to police station at their convenience.
* Other party left in a taxi, possibly to go to A&E, as they may have had bruising
* Everything passed over to insurance companies.
* No other accident in the last 40 years.

Police told me that they will pass all their information onto the central RTC team who will be in contact either for additional information or to advise no further action.

Apart from sitting on my hands, is there anything I should consider doing now.
