Hit and Run "minor cycle accident "

[glasgowcyclist]

I think it is, double checking. It is in Canadian and Australian law. Given we have similar laws its possible.

Edit: http://www.cps.gov.uk/legal/p_to_r/road_traffic_offences/
It is by the seems of things

I don't see where in your linked page that S 170 is an indictable offence. Could you point it out?

Misread the top, it just says crown.
I don't know then. It doesn't but nor does it say it is.

Take a look at the Road Traffic Offenders Act where you'll find it's triable summarily, not on indictment.

I just don't want to see you locked up for false arrest/imprisonment!

Unless there's a threat to life or limb I'd leave it to the police.

As I said I wouldn't do it. Surprised you have to kill someone for it to be indictment

I would have been tempted - actually more than tempted - just to punch her wing mirror out and leave it at that.

To be fair these enourmous wing mirrors cars have nowerdays are bloody rediculuos - especially in this day and age of mini-cameras , how hard would it be to have a cameras on the rear of the car with screens internally.

My mirrors on my car are a pain, the number of times I'm got stuck getting out of my garage by them, lost a few to wheele bigs hidden in hedges when dodging oncoming tractors.

Okay, anyone else who might have taken your scenario seriously.
