Dunno about neck injuries, but denting a panel on an old car can make it effectively worthless - you could do that reversing into something at 5mph parking.

15mph is more than enough to cause whiplash injuries in the right (or should that be wrong) conditions.

Thanks killerwatt and thelawnet, that what basically happened , Due to the age of the care it wasnt worth much, I had to take a loan out to buy another car, It was an old car but very relaiable , Shame to see it go in the end

I've got over 1.8 million miles under my belt, with all but around 100k of that being points and accident free. I've passed four driving tests covering everything from a motorbike to an articulated lorry first time.

Take out of that what you want.

I (according to my insurance company) gave someone neck injuries at < 10mph and very nearly wrote off a 3 year old car.

If I ever see the lying !!!!!!! again they'll have more than neck injuries

Spoke to the cps today and she said there was no chance that they could re-offer the driving course once its gone this far,

The lady said the only other thing i could try is to write a letter in to them explaining that as a result of me living in a new build estate only built 3 mnths before the crash that the letters from them never got to me and ask that the cps drop the case altogether if it was not in public interest to prosecute then there would be a good chance of this,

Anyone any good at writing these type of letters, i would be very gratefull if they could,

Thanks again
