I know they cannot legally use age as a pivoting point should it come to trial, but would they be pressing the same situation on a middle aged nun if she was to be in this scenario? Blown a little out of proportion I know, but you get me gist....
I still reckon its a load of shit. What would have happened if you chose to avoid hitting the back of the car infront, but as a consequence had to hit the cyclist who distracted you in the first place? Would you be up for manslaughter? IMO you reacted in the right manner to the circumstances infront of you.
The car can be repaired, humans, not quite as easily so.
As said, you have plenty of referee's as to your driving, and that situation could have happened to anyone. How the f*ck they think they are going to get any benefit from this case by forcing a course upon you is beyond me... It's your first serious crash (I assume) and you have not had any more since. What has happened, has happened. Fair play if you were crashing into primary schools on a daily basis, but i doubt you do...
I would argue it, but thats just me...
You could point out to them that you were not driving dangerously, if they want to put anyone on a course, it should be nobbers that like to drift flatbed trucks....
