crash law

Point 5 is the issue. Mabe you need a lesson grammar? It's a list.

It simply says the accident must be reported when...
by virtue of section 1a (an injury has occured), the driver does not produce the relevent documents or other evidence as mentioned in 165 (2)a)

Simple grammar. The comma is used to designate a list.

But regardless you7 have still done an about turn

I don't understand why you have done this, and remember I agreed with you originally.

Your repost only goes to reinforce your original post which you now seem to deny.
Sorry but I don't know what you are trying to achieve

There is no "issue" as it clearly states >>>(b) to some person who, having reasonable grounds for so doing, has required him to produce it,
the driver must report the accident and produce such a certificate or other evidence.<<< Therefore by producing my documents to your loved one, I have complied and do not need to report the collision. Can you still not see that these are either/or alternatives and not in addition to each other?

Let's try another tack. Are you saying that ALL collisions involving a motor vehicle on a road whereby damage is caused to something other than the vehicle and/or injury is caused to a person other than the driver, must be reported?

I am trying to explain a point of law to Seb because he does not understand it (or is just trying to wind me up). Obviously I am not doing a very good job at present. I am having fun though! :beer:

Er, no, no I can't because as you put it.....

the driver must report the accident and produce such a certificate or other evidence

Couldn't have put it better myself.

I am sure you could not put it better yourself as you do not yet understand the meaning of the words of 5 (b):- "to some person who, having reasonable grounds for so doing, has required him to produce it," This bit means that if I as the driver of the vehicle that ran over your head show my relevant documentation to your loved one, the collision does not have to be reported.

Do you believe that all collisions have to be reported?

sebdangerfield

I refer you my previous post above where you quoted the exact part of the act which requires the driver of an injury RTC to report the matter.

Do you believe that all collisions have to be reported?

No.

What are the conditions for collisions not to be reportable?

sebdangerfield

When there is no injury (or very minor injury as in smith vs ChCon GMP)and both parties exchange details.

Have a look here nige,

http://www.met.police.uk/traffic/driver_offences.htm

In particular this bit, directly from the met website. Which force did you work for?

"If any person has been injured as a result of the accident, then you must report the incident to a police station within 24 hours."

MetPol did not write the law and the website is just giving advice on how to act to people who do not know the law, not, explaining what is required by Section 170 of the Road Traffic Act 1988. Lincolnshire.

Back to your first sentence. What details have to be provided for non injury, and, injury collisions? Secondly who do these details have to be provided to and when?
