by a motorist
not
fully acquainted with his rights at law can seriously
embarrass his insurers in the subsequent negotiations (which keep
a high proportion of motoring cases out of the civil courts altogether)
and possibly cost them, avoidably, a sum
of
money.
If
so, it must
render him persona non grata in their eyes, and may ultimately tend
towards higher insurance premiums all round.
An unvarnished apology need
not
be an admission
of
liability,
either civil or criminal: it could well be an all-too-rare expression
of ordinary good manners. Until such time as motorists generally
can be educated to the level of a detailed knowledge of the civil
and criminal
law-or,
better still,
of
not having accidents at
all~
the best advice is to be courteous, and stick to facts. M.
