What and no citizen has tried to protect their own arse?
Oh they have, but surely in Court and not on an internet forum. What benefit does the OP get from lying to PH? I've got no beef in this fight regardless of the outcome, just voicing my opinion, thinking "aloud" as much as anything. KungFooPanda said:
Of course its one sided as I dont know what the police have said. A part fron admitting not to having his blues on on approach to the lights and all four officers saying that they werent doing anymore than 30mph. The evidence from the black box says they were doing 80-84, then 56. Now Im not against the police, they do a difficult job but on this occasion I would like a 'you know, we messed up...sorry for the inconvenience. We accept it was our fault. Heres you no claims bonus'. Personally the whole thing stinks maybe down to the way insurance works. Im a law abiding citizen whos view of the police is now being changed due to the way this incident is panning out. There was also a slip road to his right which he could have taken to avoid me, if he'd seen me, he was in the inside lane - he should have approached in the outside line. The following police car was 60-70m behind him but he managed to go across the front of me during the accident...if you dont believe my story then I cant change that. I will be meeting with the inspector this/next week to complain about the way this has been handled.
The problem is you are only giving us the facts you want to.Just tell us where it happened so we can see the layout for ourselves.
Its a bit strange that you have been involved in a serious RTC with an ARV and following car yet no one can find any trace of the incident on any news feed , Twitter, Facebook etc.

Dont fall for the trick to identify the junction in question or give any more details than you are prepared to. If anyone doesnt believe what you have written, then thats their problem. I have also experienced it on here where it is claimed that you are lying/not providing the full story when it doesnt paint the police in good light.
I believe these boards are monitored by the powers that be so do not provide any information that may be detrimental to your case.

Yes. There's loads of internet detectives whose sole role is to trawl the internet for evidence relating to minor RTCs. There's even keyword searches, especially relating to 'Eclassy', so they know that any report of serious assault is actually someone tapping on their window.I believe these boards are monitored by the powers that be so do not provide any information that may be detrimental to your case.

Not aimed at anyone in particular, but there's some knob jockeys on here who wouldn't believe they had a nose on their face unless you could provide a web based link to it...

It *may* prejudice any case should the matter go further.
Serious question,How could stating where the accident happened prejudice any case ?
Giving out names, Saying he was speeding/ wasn't looking/had had a drink etc I could understand, But "it happened on the Dunkirk island Nottingham" ?

Why this didn’t show up in the news I have no idea. There were another two BiB/public collisions within 4 days and both of them did hit the local rag. Maybe this is a question I can ask the Inspector when we meet.
Based on the evidence I’ve gathered and the witness report, I believe when this goes to court, and I will ensure that it does if needed, that the BiB that caused this accident will go down the same route as the ambulance driver mentioned earlier. It’s a route I don’t want to take but if forced I will and I will go to the media. Being a police officer doesn’t mean you can defy the laws of physics, it will still take the BiB the same distance to stop as it would a civilian, whether he has blue lights or not. I find it disgraceful that this can happen, all involved get a slap on the wrist and then its handed over to their insurance/ legal team who then carry out a damage control exercise to ensure the police lose as little face as possible, regardless of the facts.
I also received a phone call earlier from a friend, who has a police officer friend who is apparently on here and has been reading this. He has suggested that I no longer carry on with this thread but give an update when it’s done. I’ve decided to take his advice and for those that are genuinely interested in the outcome I will update when the verdict is out.
Again, thanks for some great advice, some of it from police officers.

There was me thinking it was the CPS that decided if things went to court. I've been doing it wrong all these years.Elroy Blue said:
