Cyclist killed while riding home from mum's birthday party

So sad and needless.

As both have been arrested for dangerous driving I'm guessing the occupants are blaming each other. 

Or they werent willing to say who was behind the wheel at the time -- So both of them will get prosecuted unless one owns up or throws the other under the bus.

It may be that neither is prosecuted if this case is anything to go by:

Its always a game of roulette. Sometimes you'll get a police officer that wants to do their duty and the other times you get the janitor that is going around responding to reports while they clean the premises.

Some forces are always more proactive and deal with a lot more cases where as others do not.

Some folks are tired of being on the force but a job is a job in these hard times so they stick with it to pay the bills while putting in the least amount of effort -- there are people like this in every job not just the police force.

Sometimes it takes multiple complaints and report submissions before someone picks it up a deals with it appropriately. That shouldnt stop you from ever submitting a report though. Your report just has to find that one good soul that wants to do their job.

But the legal question is whether a prosecution is possible for a motoring offence where the identity of the driver is in dispute.

I thought that for a while. Kept reporting to Cambridge Police. "No video evidence, can't do anything" when someone punishment passed & threatend to kill myself & 11yo son, I got a camera. They failed to investigate or even view the video evidence. I complained to Professional Standards. Complaints upheld "clear grounds to take disciplinary action".....but they refused to do so. "Submission system not fit for purpose". So they fixed it......by refusing to provide feedback, so it was no longer possible to make a Professional Standards complaint. 15 complaints, the only one deemd worthy of action was the only one where a car driver was put at risk. I was not even mentioned in court, despite the driver driving straight at me to overtake a learner driver at a junction.  At some point you have to accept that some Police forces do not give a sh*t about the safety of vulnerable road users, and will not, no matter how hard we try.

So sorry I did just post something about poor police prosecutions, but now is not the time. Will donate something to this fund. Shocking and sad and utterly horrible. I weep for that family xxx

In the link you've given, of the delibrate act of hit n run collision, in Nottingham, November 2014...
It is utterly scandalous that cops did NOT treat it as ATTEMPTED MURDER, and worse, that they found it that DIFFICULT to confirm the culprit behind the wheel when all they needed to know if it was male or female.
>And that they easily could have established who it was by:
1. Checking out their alibis
2. Checking mobile phone data of their movements
3. Locating eye witnesses, whose cars were captured on victim's cameras, who may have spotted the fleeing suspect
4. Tracked cctv movement of the culprit's car, b4 n after the collision, and potentially revealing the driver
>Having failed all these leads, all within their power n resources, makes you wonder if they willfully withheld it from the public and the press, perhaps because the culprit had some connections with cops.
