    Mickey666 said: there does seem to be something of an anomaly whereby a driver with many years of experience and an accident-free driving record can be driving perfectly safely - as defined by not having an accident - yet be prosecuted for a minor speeding offence and receive penalty points on their licence, while a driver who actually causes an accident can have the whole thing dealt with via their insurance with the police never being involved and with no penalty points on their licence.
    But you can cause a accident by not breaking the law. But if you go over the prescribed speed limit you are.
