Well, that depends on whether they can prove it was you. If you caused an
accident then I'd not want to lay any bets. Brian -- ----- -- This newsgroup posting comes to you directly from... The Sofa of Brian Gaff...

Covered a little while ago in legal.moderated following a fatal accident, IIRC there is still something from the 19th century like "Furious and wanton cycling". But a driving license is specifically for *motorin*. |

Covered a little while ago in legal.moderated following a fatal accident, IIRC there is still something from the 19th century like "Furious and wanton cycling". But a driving license is specifically for *motorin*. Rather more up to date are The Road Traffic Act 1988 offences of dangerous cycling (S28) and careless cycling (S29). However, the penalties for those are limited to fines of up to £1000 or £2500 respectively. The 1861 Offences Against the Person Act is used if those penalties are deemed inadequate, as in the case of a cyclist killing a pedestrian. That can result in a custodial sentence of up to two years and an unlimited fine. As you say, none of these offences would affect a driving licence. -- Colin Bignell |
