again disgusting. the driver got off on a technicality because it is a rented car. Therefore Rented or shared use cars should immediately be fitted with driver cams recording to a secure memory. we need to make this happen. This wasn't an accident it was attempted murder.
Poor decision by the CPS not to pursue. Hopefully this mark will remain on the individual prosecutor's career record.
If they really wanted, they could have put together a reasonable case based on phone records, witness statements and CCTV footage.
As regards the driver, what a waste of 52 years inhaling and exhaling.
This could of been manslaughter, the Police should track all the suspected drivers phone records to determine who was in the Mobile phone cell at the time. They should of charge the registered drivers with withholding evidence of crime and send them to prison until they own up
Can someone talented not edit that video and try and see the silhouette of the driver/passenger?
They can't prove the driver because both the man and woman are not admitting to who it was - but it has to be one of two people right? It's a shame the video didn't capture who was driving
i dont understand, if i was to be in my car, van or on a motorbike and was involved in an RTA and drove away i would be reported for leaving the seen of an accident (AC10, AC20 conviction codes). Why is this not the same for this driver.
Have you sent this to the NOTTINGHAMSHIRE OFFICE OF THE
POLICE AND CRIME COMMISSIONER and your local MP. I am sure it would not be brushed under table after you contacted the MP.
So shocking!!!!!!!
He/She should be arrested. Why the police are not helping is completely disgusting. This should be treated no differently than the Brighton hit and run that we saw only a few days ago.
Though hopefully now it's only a matter of time before someone grasses up the driver of the car.
This terrible bit of bad driving is completely surpassed by the failure of Police and CPS to bring the driver to justice. Also 15 months later the driver has still not recieved a penny of compensation from the vehicles insurers!
When were the police called? Was the car brought back to the hire company.. if so, what happened in between? After all the car was registered to them..
