Ms V

Published:

Ms V was convicted of failure to stop after a road traffic accident in January 2023 and was sentenced to a community order, a £120 fine and nine penalty points.  

When interviewed by police in May 2022, Ms V provided an account stating she stopped immediately and called 999, requesting an ambulance, after the accident. In her account, Ms V remained at the scene for a significant amount of time. 

Ms V was unable to appeal her conviction because she entered a guilty plea at the Magistrates’ Court after legal advice.  Ms V applied to the CCRC in July 2023.

Following review, the CCRC has concluded that there was a real possibility the Crown Court would find that Ms V satisfied the requirement to stop under section 170 of the Road Traffic Act 1988. 

The CCRC referred the conviction in November 2024.
