RTC whilst on driving lesson

Tilt

As a driver is that correct then tilt?

Do we really need to keep going over this? As said many times, once an ambulance is called to a RTC (by whoever), then the police are routinely notified. In this case it appears the TP driver was obliged to make the call IF he was aware of any injuries. HOWEVER in my opinion under these circumstances, the instructor should also have reported it IF he was also aware of his pupil being injured. BUT we now know that an ambulance wasn't called due to the fact that apparently the OP's son didn't immediately make his "injury" known to the instructor.

You claim to have passed a test.

I've actually passed 3... all of which were at the first attempt.

For boxes are on a police accident report for injury.

They are non, slight, serious and fatal. I don't see possible.

As for you point the son didn't immediately make his injury known, has the op confirmed this as it was in doubt?

More rubbish! The Police do not normally attend minor traffic shunts of this kind.

The driving instructor can't be expected to know if or how badly injured his pupil is, because it can take several hours (6 to 12 hours) for the symptoms of whiplash to develop.

It seems that everyone has to blame and claim from someone these days, which puts up all of our premiums!

If an injury is reported, they do.

Keep checking in to see if any useful new info's been posted.

Keep being disappointed

I see that you are still trolling under your new username - how many have you had now!

Whiplash injuries are not normally apparent at the time of the accident, so the Police do not normally attend as no injury is reported.

Troll along.

I think everything 'useful' has already been posted.

Unless the Instructor, or their Insurance volunteer to pass on the other drivers details (which they have no legal obligation to do) then the claim won't happen as there's no other ways i can think of to trace the liable party.

I know something similar which happened to someone on the Pistonhead forums and the Accident Management Company eventually gave up on the claim but charged the claimant for their time & effort instead as per the T&C's

Our Granddaughter was hit from behind whilst under instruction and although nothing was apparently amiss at the time the instructor acted in accordance with the requirements of her insurance policy and notified the Police of a potential injury accident. The Police attended and took statements, it later transpired she did have whiplash (medical diagnosis, not a come on) and the Instructors Insurance company paid compensation.

Where is the requirement to report an injury accident to the police? The RTA says you must do so if you don't provide insurance details to the other party at the time, but not otherwise.

There's 3. Slight/Serious/Fatal.


The reason there's only 3 is because the scene booklet isn't really to be completed in damage only collisions.

Why would the instructor's insurance pay out the compensation in the above circumstances? Surely it would be the insurers of the vehicle that collided with your grandaughter's vehicle?
