Odd decision over bin lorry crash...

[calibrax]

Glasgow bin lorry crash that killed six - the fatal accident enquiry seems to have established that the driver lied about his medical condition :

What I don't understand is the fact that it was announced BEFORE the enquiry that there would be no criminal prosecution brought. Why? Shouldn't they wait for the results of the inquiry before making that decision?

If I was a relative of one of those killed, I'd be pretty angry right now...

How open would witnesses be if there was a chance of prosecution compared to guaranteed immunity? Is prosecution in this one case now more in the public interest than taking preventative measures to reduce the likelihood of a recurrence?

Yep, I guess that makes sense and answers my query. Still hard on the families, though.
