Police Accident.

I had my first one yesterday. Bloody hellfire !!!!!

I went to an immediate response job where a female was about to be sectioned and started kicking off with the mental health team so I turned up and as it happens she was ok but I parked the panda in the street which was a narrow and dimly lit cul-de-sac with cars either side parked partially on the road and the pavement so I didn't have much room either side when I came to reverse out for the ambulance.

Checking the mirrors I was too close to a parked car's wingmirror so I stopped, applied the handbrake and selected first gear but I misjudged the clutch bite and the car rolled backwards several inches and clattered a car's wing mirror leaving a small scuff mark.

I had to inform supervision then I knocked on the lasses's door to tell her and on seeing it she was fine and said accident's happen and wasn't going to take matters further although it can't be swept under the carpet that easily and I said that she may be spoken to be a supervisor at a later time. She was fine about it but it smarts a little.

I had to do a statement under caution as to what happened and a decision will be made about what the outcome will be which will be .....

No further action.

A point on my police licence ( 3 and you are suspended from driving pending a retest )

File to the CPS for a decision on careless driving.

We will see although I feel such a tw@ for making a schoolboy error.
