Depends on circumstances, but would usually start at a consideration of dangerous driving. Ultimately CPS would realise they'll probably get a guilty plea for careless, and go with that.
Would that be if there were no other vehicles, persons, or things to damage within, say, 200 metres of the RAB?That is to say, if there is literally nothing to harm, then what is the harm?

Diesel on the road officer !

The other way of looking at it would be the scenario whereby an inexperienced driver loses control of a RWD car, say on a diesel spill, but manages to keep control by steering into the skid.
Would this also lead to a charge?
I think its interesting how and where the line would be drawn?Would this also lead to a charge?

Seems to me that as with most forms of 'enthusiastic' driving, the trick is to only do it where the probability of getting caught by the Bib is acceptably low. For some people 'acceptably low' might mean zero i.e. never knowingly do it - I expect that most people have more relaxed attitude to risk though.
Donutting outside the copshop probs a bad idea then? flemke said:

The OP, assuming he or she had a genuine worry, is pushed aside to clear the battleground.
It's a discussion forum, not a FAQ site.No one should be pushed aside, but often the OP will have had his question answered before other participants have finished their discussion.
I was genuinely interested when I posted the question - but I also knew it was going to be subject to controvesy and debate. Such discussions all add to lifes rich tapestry!
