Wa_lanz Neutral Newbie January 17, 2007 Share January 17, 2007 was involved in an accident with a pedestrain last yr, he was drunk and ran out during red man... Swerved away but side mirror hit him and broke off... he suffered slight head injuries and one fractured ankle... Im sure that the lights were in my favour and even the pedestrain didnt want to press charges.. went for investigation and IO said I will confirm be charged, either heavy or light.. depends on whether i beat red light anot? SUPER SAD!! However, just received a reply from TP saying that investigations showed no substantive results but does not preclude future prosecution should evidence submerged at later stage... What would you guys perceive it to be? Case more or less closed, I can ease my mind already or just that they just informing me they haven finish investigating?? Anyone with similar experiences here care to share?? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronnchee Clutched January 17, 2007 Share January 17, 2007 Very unfortunate of you. Any eye witness ? In the eye of law, they always protect the predestrain, unless you can prove that they are the one who knock your car, and not vice versa. If they want to charge, civil or criminal case ? I think it has to be criminal case, since the druken also didn't want to press charges. Fight all the way, I support you mentally Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flight_skoda Neutral Newbie January 17, 2007 Share January 17, 2007 (edited) The key point was that the pedestrain did not press charges and thus the police may not have sufficient reason to charge you. Of course, in all legalities, one who draft such letter will often leave it open-ended. Like all the other bros and sis were saying, you go grab a beer mate!

Wa_lanz Neutral Newbie January 17, 2007 Author Share January 17, 2007 Thanks for the replies... I did have a pedestrain who did not actually see the whole accident but can confirm he was drunk and was willing to stand witness Problem is that the IO told me i will confirm get charged then now tell me this... abit .. feel like celebrating but scully later receive another letter then i will faintz... though the pedestrain don wanna press charges, the police can always charge me with failing to excercise caution when approaching pedestrain crossing etc etc... thats why wanna see if any bros/sis here have gotten away without any charges for similar situation?

Pisces69 6th Gear January 17, 2007 Share January 17, 2007 I think Zealot has summed it up pretty well. Looks like they have found u innocent based on the information they have now. Sud new information become available, they reserve the right to re-open this case. Something like if they brought it to court & got insufficient evidence against you but you seem suspicious, it wil be a discharge not amounting to an acquittal. They can re-open the case in future. The IO who said u will b charged for sure may have been working too long hours when he told u that. Maybe he needed to get some rest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy Neutral Newbie January 17, 2007 Share January 17, 2007 (edited) Sounds like you're safe bro. They just want to ensure that you "tio harng" and drive "even more safely" from now onwards.

Arowana1 1st Gear January 18, 2007 Share January 18, 2007 lucky they never charge you with attempted murder did u watch the local production where they showcase old crime stories? driver kena charged for murder, and was convicted initially. so his sentence was death. pretty stupid if u ask me cos it should have been manslaughter if prosecution wanted to go all the way with this kind of standard with prosecutors, one wonders what can be next.

Wa_lanz Neutral Newbie January 18, 2007 Author Share January 18, 2007 actually my case can consider he bang me la.. he ran out from my left and i braked and horn then he stop in front of me... i scared cant brake in time so i swerved from 3rd to 1st lane.. however, he suddenly dash towards my car again when i swerve.. ... fact that i swerve from left to right and my left mirror still broke can consider that he bang me mah... He was drunk somemore... I still have to pay for my own car damages... though i did question if i could claim against him initially already damn sianz then still gotta face charges... morale really super low.... finally can cheer up after receiving the letter.... hopefully its a FULLSTOP for this case...
