Daughter's Car Accident - please help.

Tesuhoha best advice is not to keep responding to defend every post. As an experienced poster you have clearly come across trolling before, if you don't feed them there is no fun in it for them. As others have said very eloquently many many pages back - noone knows what actually happened apart from your daughter (and possibly one other driver) and most people were originally replying to info posted. to still be debating non-factual information now serves no purposes I would suggest

Hope it all gets sorted and your daughter (and you) moves on

SxVR+N/ CLS = NT

Will give you the force transferred
At 70 mph and closing collision speed of 5 mph it would be around 65000n or 6.5 tons of force, that makes quite a impact.
Figures based on average family saloon.

Complete and utter rubbish !

Re police charging for careless driving, is it not the case the police will charge you with careless driving at the scene if they think accident was your fault, i'm not 100% but think this is the case

correct BUT:

unless the officer decides there is no charge to answer for the OP's daughter and NFA is declaired on the investigation wich is quickly drawn to a close when all avenues of investigation is closed after a RTC. after that theres no nothing the officer can do untill new evidence is brought forward that implicates the OP as careless driving as you put it, wich is a different motoring offence to driving without due care to wich the OP daughter COULD have been charged with due to the officer originally thinking it was a solo accident.

She wouldn't be charged though would she? More likely a summons since there was no arrest.

then if she is summons to court (if the CPS decides they have a case) all she has to do is provide photo's, she would also be entitled to ask for whitness reports from the court and the police report.

i doubt very much the CPS would run with this case, 1.there are witnesses to back up the possability of third party contact. 2.there are photo's to suggest third party contact 3. the officer will be asked to attend court to find out why the charge was not brought forward at time of accident being it was a solo accident, the opinion of the officer declairing no third party contact would come into question, is he trained to assess accident damage is he a police accident investigator? or just a traffic officer? did he she investigate CCTV footage whilst at scene to establish what happened and see if there was evidence of a hit and run? or the BMW driver made contact? did he revisit the BMW driver to assess the vehicle properly due to allegation of contact.

in all if the OP daughter is summons to court under the traffic offence, she has a good defence.

and if the officer is still investigating and the case is still open, then the officer can go back to OP daughter and caution her for DWDC and either deal with it via fixed penalty or summons to court.

i'm not going to chase my tail here and go round in circles with you, if you have all these questions in your mind and what to find out, GOOGLE is your friend.

You can't deal with careless via a fixed penalty. Keep guessing.
