- Causing death by careless driving
- Causing serious injury by dangerous driving
- Dangerous driving
- Cases where the charging decision itself is worth challenging
What actually happens
- Dangerous or careless
- The line between the two is the standard of a careful and competent driver, and it decides everything that follows. Persuading a reviewing lawyer to move a charge from dangerous to careless changes the sentence completely.
- The reconstruction
- These cases are decided by collision investigators on both sides. Their assumptions about speed, visibility and reaction time are where the argument is.
- The sentence
- Causing death by dangerous driving now carries life imprisonment. Most of the work is in the guideline category and the mitigation.
What Imran does about it
He challenges the charging decision in writing before the case is listed, and instructs his own collision evidence where the prosecution reconstruction rests on an assumption rather than a measurement.
This is the one area where his published case record is thin, so this page sets out the work rather than a list of cases.
