Collision With Council Bus Stop Out Of Area

[Sam190]

If the accident above was 200 miles away from drivers home where will the court hearing be? Where it happened or court within drivers home area?

[dzug2]

Is the driver being charged with careless (or whatever) driving or being sued for the cost of the bus stop?

[shoota]

A court local to the incident.

[EDDIE51]

Yes, the court will be where it happened. So the driver has a 400 mile round trip to attend court. Do not drive to the hearing either as if you get banned from driving you will not be able to drive back as a ban is instant.

[Nini74]

you need to answer dzug2's question before we can answer! if its a civil claim, then the Court will decide where the hearing should take place based on information from the claimant and defendant - each will be given an opportunity to name their preferred court with reasons - eg Plymouth county court because of the location of the claimant and witnesses etc. if criminal proceedings, then I think its the court nearest to the location of the accident.
