[Closed] Have we done that hit and run on the BBC site yet?

the amount of coverage it has got will hopefully make people stop and think about the level of injustice suffered by cyclists hit by vehicles.

but maybe I'm just extra cynical today

I dunno it may work in the way you say and people will [i]generally[/i] be appalled by it but if someone is [i]personally[/i] involved in an incident they'll say "hang on what about that hit and run case? I can get out of this."

[quote=cloudnine ]Presumed liability would come in handy here. Charge them both until one squeals.

As mentioned presumed liability is a civil thing - and way up there the one person on this thread who should know more about this aspect of the law than the rest of us put together did suggest the police could have banged both of them up for 24 hours to put the pressure on.
