Tried yesterday to respond but kept losing script – dicky left hand from stroke hitting wrong keys

OK my view on matters.

Where following an accident damage is caused to another vehicle then there are obligations at law . The first being to stop which the poster did – no offence. The second is to provide any person having reasonable grounds with named address owner vehicle/drivers details and VRM. (If injury involved details of Insurance not applicable in this case) This was not done. Technically an offence. Whilst poster seems to have tried to resolve this from what he says seems belligerence of other party may have prevented this. Strong mitigation. If details not exchanged then obligation at law to report matter to police in 24 hrs.

Other party seems to have reported it to police thereby complying with law.

IT seems then that Police have sent form to poster for driver of his car to be named. Offence not to do so. Poster has replied. On this form offences of fail to stop/fail to report/careless driving have been shown. This IS NOT at the charge state but police have to show offence to justify service of form to name driver.

Following on Police will want to interview poster under caution and get his full version of events. Make sure a statement is taken from wife to corroborate account as given.

Enquiries complete police will submit file to Crown Prosecution Service who will decide if evidence sufficient to secure conviction for any offence disclosed.

If authorised summons will be taken out and served on poster showing offences, date/time and place of Magistrates Court for hearing. It is this stage worry should start and consultation with lawyer.

Whilst I cannot read the future if what has been posted is the gospel truth then I cannot see CPS taking any action.
