Not according to the Police, the Road Traffic Act 1988 or the CPS it isn't.
It's under Section 2 of the Road Traffic Act.
https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1988/52/section/2A"(1)For the purposes of sections 1 [F2, 1A] and 2 above a person is to be regarded as driving dangerously if (and, subject to subsection (2) below, only if)—
(a)the way he drives falls far below what would be expected of a competent and careful driver, and
(b)it would be obvious to a competent and careful driver that driving in that way would be dangerous."

The clue in the name.
To endanger, to put someone at risk or in danger.
Danger is the noun.
Dangerous is the adjective.0 -
It's been about 7 months plus two weeks from the date of the incident, but have't heard anything yet. Ususlly, how long can one expect to be heard from by the police / court in an incident like this?
