These days the Police are less inclined to consider an accident was just that – an accident. If they believe a driver was (or may have been) the cause of an accident, then it is highly likely that driver will be prosecuted for driving without due care and attention. However, I can often persuade the Court to find a driver not guilty because the standard of driving did not drop below that of a reasonably competent driver. This is a criminal charge and the Prosecution must prove the case ‘beyond reasonable doubt’ and that is a much higher standard than a claim for damages in the civil court.
