One point I raise about what is in the report
He says he approached a hill and saw people there at the top. Now a reasonable man may consider that there could be people the other side of the hill also and slow down a little just in case however he went flying over the hill with noway of seeing what was on the other side at at least 87 mph. This basically meant he had no chance of stopping no matter what was on the other side of this hill. The report also states if he had been traveling at 30 mph he would have been able to stop

in reference to your above post zing i feel i must in fairness say that knowing the area well as i do there are always young kids and teenagers roaming the streets untill the early hours (usually upto no good)and in the report on the officers admision he knows the area well so one would assume he knows this ,i was surprised when watching the video how few kids there were on that road

That report does put the blame nice and squarely on his shoulders though.
No reasons not to use his lights and sirens.
No reasons to speed.
Actually he may well have rammed the Megane if he had not hit Hayley as they were so close to the incident.

that is the finding of the report ,and the trial i can't argue that point ,i still feel though that pc Dougal wasn't soley to blame i still feel that the force should shoulder some blame in respect of training and protocol
