is there an offence like that?

because all drivers involved in an accident whatsoever, are potentially facing this charge...

I am waiting to hear from lawyers in the house. One time I was accused of obstruction coz I was in heavy traffic and started admiring myself in the mirror smile so when cars started moving, I didnt move immediately.
Lord, thank you!

yes there is...though it usually has an additive...
like,
causing death by....
endangering life by...
Reckless driving mostly if you are solo...e.g hitting a tree. The distinction between the two is that one has a custodial sentence the other is mostly finable...
And unless they have an open and shut case cops never charge one with just dangerous driving. Chances of acquittal are high. So they add an alternate of reckless driving...

Cops know nothing else except dangerous driving. I just wonder if I were committing suicide and I get myself knocked by the car will it still be dangerous driving by the driver like lets say if i just get on the thia road and am knocked.
