Driving offences are the only 'criminal offence' whereby an officer can take an initial account at the roadside without doing it formally at the police station.
A driver is at their most vulnerable in the immediate aftermath of a serious road traffic accident, and they are liable to guess as to what could have happened and truthfully, they are in no fit state to be answering questions.
Yet - in most cases - this is what is happening up and down the country every single day.
This can have a huge impact on companies whose employees drive for work - given that they have no control over what their driver says or even where they are until the police decide to release them. The company and senior management team can be incriminated as a result of poor driver management and control at the scene of a collision, It also often results in more expensive compensation claims, which impacts on the insurers, and of course, future premiums for the company.
It is no exaggeration to say these cases are literally won - and lost - at the roadside. So how do you change your outcome?
