Arrested Due To Arrest Warrant & Court Papers Being Sent To Wrong Address.

So nothing you need to do, the cyclist has submitted their claim direct to your motor insurer. Your insurers are dealing the civil claim made against you by the cyclist.

The civil claim isn't about whether you are guilty or innocent of a crime but about whether you owe the cyclist compensation for his alleged injuries.

Usually the claim will allege that you drove negligently and your driving caused the accident and injured the cyclist.

Although it is separate from the criminal prosecution, if you are found guilty of dangerous driving in the criminal court it will be difficult for your insurers to argue that you were not negligent and they will likely pay it without going to court.

Many thanks for your reply it is much appreciated. I was thinking that too, if i was found guilty that they would have to pay out too. Im wondering if it works the other way around if im found not guilty, the civil claim will be dropped.

Shouldn't a moderator have redacted what appears to be the name of the cyclist claimant in posts #32 and #30?

Rob1969 - so you've been charged with dangerous driving, you suffer from "intermittent explosive disorder" to the extent that "... any form of public transport is a disaster for me planes, trains, taxi, buses, i get sick easily when im in a bus or taxi. I also risk getting into fights or confrontations with annoying passengers on any mode of public transport. I risk ending up in trouble with the police or ending up in jail. Hiring a car, im at risk of driving like a maniac,... " and you got into a fight with a witness who you described as "mental"?

Have you perhaps considered surrendering your licence, as you sound like a real danger to the public?

I don't drive and i use my bike now and i'm trying to get some fitness back, i don't have a car and i stopped driving 1 1/2 years ago. I am hoping that the mental health team will help with my problem. I might lose it anyways. Maybe if i can see a psychiatrist eventually i can get meds and treatment and return to work and possibly drive. I hate driving and i will only do it if i feel im now better behind the wheel.

Stopped driving but drove to the hearing in Scotland?

why are you having a dig at me, i have not done anything to offend you, your the second person, where is your sense of humanity and understanding with a vulnerable person who knows they are crazy.

[islandgirl]

Noone is "having a dig" but we are trying to understand the situation. You say you have stopped driving but then tell us you drove to Scotland. You should get medical evidence and legal help. Good luck

I thought i had explained my mental health and health problems already. There is NO safe way for me to attend court, ZERO, i was forced to attend court and so i chose to hire a van as i beleive its the safest option for me, no form of public transport is safe for me. I risk getting into trouble travelling on a bus, train or Plane. I always end up in heated confrontations with annoying disrespectful passengers. Im more likely to drive carelessly in a car and so i am more careful if i hire a van.

This has been a disaster, because i changed my lawyer and they did not get the witness statements in time for my appearance last week, it has been postponed until 8th July. This will mean having to travel to Glasgow a third time.

As for my lawyer i have ended up being left with another very young inexperienced female lawyer. I chose this lawyer as he (the company site) seemed to have good rating and dealt with legal aid. It turns out i have been assigned a young inexperienced woman and im furious as that was the reason i left the other lawyer.

To make matters worse i just found out today there was a motion to adjourn due to a witness not being present. Why was i not notified of this in advance, it cost me £180 in van hire and fuel and 9 hours of driving.
