it wasn't advice, it was criticism, like i said I'm not a boy racer type. I had a small scrape last xmas when it snowed, I skidded into a parked car and broke the headlight - nothing else, I went around the houses and found the person whose car it was and explained myself, when I could have just driven off,thats the kind of guy I am.

If CPS prosecute for failing to stop/report after an accident, a good solicitor can successfully defend if you genuinely didn't realise that an accident had occurred.

If CPS prosecute for careless/dangerous driving you've no defence and won't get off lightly.

You just have to hope that CPS conclude that the lack of independent witnesses gives no realistic chance of conviction and drop the case - you're in their hands.

Whatever happens you need to realise just how crass most other drivers think you are.

Thankyou for your reply RT, from what I hear the damage was very minor, and I honestly did not feel or see a thing, but I admit I do need to change my attitude to driving, its just annoying because your in a big van car drivers always try to overtake you because they want to see ahead, so may've they need to change aswell.

As a caravanner, I know about how badly drivers in general treat certain maligned vehicle types but their misdemeanours can never be an excuse for others.

Reminds me of the saying " never argue with an idiot - they drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience! "

The posts by myself and RT were not in anyway offensive unlike the post from the OP the fact that he can still use this forum after the outburst of expletives says a lot.
