I'm not disputing it but its also a fact that police check mobile phones after all accidents. See my previous post.The forest would be very silent if no birds sang except for the birds that sang the best0 -

NOT EVERY 999 call is graded to the police as you say it is, most of the time the officer has no idea of how serious a motorway accident is untill he/she has attended and as such is treated as pontentially fatal untill arrival on scene.
go into your local police station and ask to see a collision report. This is not filled in until after the reporting officer attends. It is those classifications I refer to.0 -

See my previous post.As far as you are concerned there is zero possibility that my daughter is the innocent party in all this. I don't know how you can be so 100% but you have judged her guilty and your opinion is rigid and fixed.0

I am sure there will be many people who have had accidents and can confirm that their phone was not checked.
I'm open to all possibilities. I have never said I am 100% sure of anything. I have said the accident was unlikely to have happened as you think it did. I think you're describing yourself more than me when you claim my opinion is rigid and fixed. It is you who, from the start, has insisted your daughter must have been 100% innocent and has bent the evidence to try and support your idea.
Ok I give up. You're right and I'm wrong.The forest would be very silent if no birds sang except for the birds that sang the best0 -
I was in a accident just over 6 months ago, police never asked me about or checked my mobile phone.
Re original post something simialar happened to my daughter whilst she was driving her car (mini) around 40mph on the motorway from the clyde tunnel, she heard a noise, she lost control of the car, car hit central barrier and then inside barrier, all airbags depoloyed, car was a write off, thankfully all she suffered was a broken wrist and some bruises. Policewoman took her statement about it, her car had just been through it's 1st MOT the day before and because my daughter claimed she heard a noise they were going to investigate the work done by the garage.
It was not until policewoman spoke to her colleague who was interviewing witnesses to the accident that daughter found out a car clipped her sending her into central barrier, my daughter had no idea she had been hit by another car only that she heard a noise before she lost control of car.
Witnesses also stated driver of other car stopped but when they saw her get out the car they drove off.
Police couldnt trace driver even by going through video from cameras on the road
My daughter refused 1st offer from insurance co and got a far superior 2nd offer.
Also even though the other driver got away with it, in another way she was kinda lucky, because of having witnesses that a 3rd party was involved she was able to put in a claim to the motor insurers bureau and got some money from them.
She didn't get anything for her broken heart, she loved that car0 -

You say you are open to all possibilities but you lean very heavily to the side that it was her fault and only discuss that aspect. You have also brought up the subject of criminal charges and mobile phone usage when there is absolutely no question of this. So it comes across very clearly that you believe it was her fault.
I was open minded as to what caused it but it is the view of those who have seen the car that she was hit from behind. Am I supposed to disagree with them? You are saying that they are possibly all wrong and you know better.
As for the policeman having 'reasonable suspicions' well he was efficient wasn't he, saying the accident was caused by the wind, not noticing the mark on the back of the car and then changing his mind.The forest would be very silent if no birds sang except for the birds that sang the best0 -
No chance of any criminal charges.
So your daughter has this in writing does she?0
