  • the CPS's most recent guidelines on what constitutes reckless or dangerous driving;
  • Comprehensive analysis of recent legal decisions, including:
    • Bowen v Isle of Wight Council [2021] — further examination of when a ‘means of access’ is a ‘road’; 
    • R. (on the application of Smith-Allison) v Westminster Magistrates’ Court (No.2) [2021] – developing the test to be applied when deciding whether a summons should be issued;
    • R. (on the application of Ogunsola) v Aylesbury Crown Court [2021] – emphasising again the relevant times limits for summary offences in the context of proceedings in the Crown Court; 
    • Mansfield v DPP [2021] – confirming that the class of abuse case falling to be decided exclusively in the High Court is very narrow;
    • R. v Muhammed [2021] – further exploration of the causative link required in death by driving cases;
    • R. v Redding [2021] – sentencing for causing death by careless driving whilst over the specified limit for drugs where there was no proven causal link between the drugs taken and the standard of driving;
    • Bendt v CPS [2022] - extent of offence of use of hand held telephone device for offences committed before 25 March 2022;
    • R. v Bains [2022]; R. v Morgan [2021] — examining the test to be applied when considering disqualifying an offender under the general powers in s.163 of the Sentencing Code.
