Corporate Manslaughter – The Road Death Manual, a bit of light reading!
Over the weekend I was reviewing my copy of the Police – Road Death Investigation Manual, which I have to admit is not what you might consider as ‘light’ reading, but it is essential reading to ensure that I am prepared to manage any investigation that our clients may be part of.
Even if our client is innocent, the mere act of being involved in the investigation can be traumatic and time-consuming and potentially very costly. Our intervention ensures that the process is as pain-free as possible.
This is because we understand the process the Police are following and can also help them with their investigations too. This is why I read such exciting things as the Road Death Investigation Manual, so I can better understand how the Police investigation will progress.
The manual is very prescriptive in the process and does include an instruction for the Police to look closely at whether a vehicle involved in the collision was being used for business. This means that if you are using vehicles in connection with your business and I can think of very few businesses that aren’t then you had better read the manual or talk to someone like me who reads it regularly.
