Collision Reporting Centre - Charged Under Hta?

Hello.


I'm wondering if anyone has been charged with an offence under the HTA after reporting a collision at a designated reporting centre? If so, with what? Also, if people are not charged with offences after reporting at a centre, anyone know why?


I have no interest in more people getting charged for accidents, trust me! It is a question floating around in my all too busy brain…


Thank you.

Yes, people certainly can be (and have been) charged at collision reporting centres. As always, it's up to the judgement of the investigating officer to determine what charge, if any, is applicable. It's really no different then an accident that's investigated roadside by an officer.
