Dangerous Driving Charge

Trouble@Mill

I was in a accident this year were it is alleged I pulled out from a side road into the path of an oncoming car who had right of way. Both cars were written off in the accident and me and the other driver were injured.

I am be to charged with dangerous driving based on the statement of one witness. I was knocked out and have no memory of the accident or before it at all.

My doctor believes that because I cannot remember any details before the accident I may have blacked out. I was not drinking, was well rested and have driven on this road many times before. I have been driving for 30 years sometimes up to 50000 miles per year and have not had an accident in 20 years. No endorsements fines or penalty points either.

My insurance company are paying even before the case goes to court because they say I cannot offer any defense because I can remember nothing.

Cannot find an stats on dangerous driving charges in Ireland so have no idea what to expect.

Any info welcome.
