What happens if he claims amnesia - but actually there is cab-cam (which in all the recent fatals there has been) which records him piling into the rear of the said family of 4? Does the availability of other evidence now render the alleged amnesia in this example irrelevant and we can put the person on trial.
Are you sure about this? In two prominent recent reported cases on that road, involving camera recording, there has been trial guilty plea conviction and significant sentence.
