I am not sure if this is the right place for some advice on this matter but here it is: At the end of April my husband and I were the victims of an accident where a driver did not respect the right of way at a junction and hit us full on without even trying to break.
We had reached the junction and stood behind another car while the light was red, we had then moved on once it turned green. We understand though, by witnesses, that the traffic light may have switched off as we were crossing the junction, so the light was either red or switched off for the driver the hit us. He was coming from our left on a road that has a 40 miles per hour speed limit while we were on a 20 miles per hour going towards a 30 miles per hour. I am sure that had we been hit a second later I would not be here to tell the tale. A fractured sternum and ribs, nightmares and becoming an anxious driver and passenger for me, massive bruising for both of us and my car completely destroyed were the result.
The police decided to prosecute the driver of the other car for driving without due care. The charge seemed too lenient for me as the guy was driving over the speed limit (something that should have come up by the amount of damage caused to the cars), the fact that he didn't give right of way (we were coming from his right) and he did not break (besides what I saw there were no markings on the tarmac) and he had to have seen both the car that went before us and ourselves.
The Court case was due on the 18th of this month but out of the blue the Court has decided to drop the charge as they are in doubt over the colour of the traffic light, meaning, some of the witnesses saw the traffic lights either green or red depending on the direction they were coming from and some saw it switched off. I can ask the Court to reconsider its decision and this is where I could use some help please. Is there any point of law that I can use in my request for a review?
Thank you.
