Precis , swapping insurance details in a ding is normal , but once you call the cops , somebody is going to get done for careless driving and such like =£60 + £10 tax on crime + 3 points.


Looks like even more hit n runs will occur in the future.

The way I read it, you still have to option of taking it to court. The fixed penalty is given as an option if you admit liability. In the same way as speeding tickets.

As long as you can still require the police to attend court and proove their case, I don't have too much of a problem.

In some ways, it might actually be to your advantage. If you've done something blatantly stupid, jumping on the offer of a £60 and 3 points might be the lesser of two evils. As things stand, DWDCA HAS to go to court, where you stand a fair chance of a bigger fine and up to 6 points.

Bring it on. Let hell fire it into them.

Soon as we get all those Eastern Yoorpeans and Azabackstabians off The King's Highway the better....
