Driver outcome after my accident

[j.silvs]

So I get this in the post from the met in regards to my accident.

I am pretty surprised they are doing anything if you ask me

Were you once my old boss?

He too was called Mr Silverman, though he ate bucket loads of bacon and only pretended to be devout.

After 6 months of inactivity from the Police the same happened to me, I got the very same letter.

The guy refused and it eventually went to court. He was found guilty, fined £250 fine, £450 court costs and 5 points- bellend!!

Love the impersonal pro-forma standard letter. Only had to pick your name and incident to put in the predefined fields. They worked at it though, up to Version 2 of that letter already
The saving grace is it looks hand-signed.


On topic, as said at least they're doing something. As a victim nice you don't get any influence.

So basically instead of a fine, points, possible ban, the offender gets a training course for a mere £195, and the Police and CPS have to do bugger-all.

I went on one of these following the aftermath that is my avatar.

The classroom based bit was predictable but we then got to go out in pairs with a driving instructor. My fellow sinner had turned left on a 'lycra clad' cyclist, was a lot younger than me and drove like a bloody hooligan.
My instructor was surprised at my driving ability so he spent the best part of my 'lesson' imparting IAM fuel efficient driving techniques. Most of the attendees appeared to be youngsters who lacked throttle control or common sense, one girl had pranged her car whilst fixing her makeup

But I did find the practical session worth it, despite the fact that I hadn't drive a car for a year since the accident and haven't owned one since.

Least safe in terms of accidents or deaths? If deaths I believe it's national limit A roads, unless that's an incorrect/out of date stat that would set the alarm off on QI.

I'd actually love to do one of those courses.

Q: Which roads are statistically the least safe?

A: Killed, killed and seriously injured, all injuries, or all accidents? Per mile, per hour, or per trip? African or European?

I had the same outcome with the woman who pulled out from the kerb, across my lane and hit me head-on, during my uni commute 3 and a half years ago.

I went over the car and landed on the other side, pretty much on my feet. Paramedics were amazed I was still walking

Yep my speed awareness was a troll fest.


They kept showing a video of a mum whose son died from driving too fast. Lots were crying, I just said, his poor lack of judgement and driving ability is not my problem.


Another one was someone lost their teenage son (crossed without looking) to a speeder (34mph in a 30) everyone was bawwing at the speeder until I mentioned darwinism and the fact that these retards who can't cross the road should be on a course, not me because I got caught going 36 in a downhill tunnel into the highest revenue camera in the uk (limehouse link/tunnel).


SUCH BS.


Same as when an 8 year old was killed as he drove his scooter onto the road because he thought he could make it, he was with his older sister who was 11. Same stuff, everyone is going mad at the driver (kid came out of from behind a van) when really if your kids don't know how to cross the road then don't let them out on their own...

The driver was speeding (40 in a 30) however everyone voted they would travel at 40mph down this road as it was big, speeder got moaned at and just before the course instructor changes slides he mentioned even if he was going 30mph he would of hit him anyway ''but that's not the point'' LUL WOT?

[P.]

The guy who hit me, he was uninsured, disqualified and drunk, also high off his tits.

He served 18 days out of 30 in prison, and he wasn't charged with hit and run, failing to stop or some of the other bits... They sentenced him due to having no valid insurance and no licence for the 2nd time.

Useless fucks. A course doesn't teach people, time does.

I got one of those years ago over a non-motoring incident, the person involved's name was removed from the first line due to their age. It was then given in full a few times within the letter detailing the court times and convictions.
