Blimey.

So if you are coming down the road and a car is coing toward the main road
from a side turning, you are commiting criminal damage, by forcing him to
stop, which he otherwise would not have had to do?


Are you being deliberately obtuse or did you have a very strong liquid lunch?


No. Merely extrapolating the implications of the statement that implies
that any action whatsoever taken by party A that causes party B to do
something they would not otherwise have had to do, constitutes an act of
Criminal Damage by Part A against party B.
