			This is a serious offence and you should not think about facing this charge alone. 
			There is a risk that the court will decline jurisdiction and send the case to the Crown Court for trial before a judge and jury.

			The legal definition is a 2 stage process;
			Did the driving fall below that of a careful competent driver, and it would be obvious to a competent and careful driver that driving in that way would be dangerous.

				   It is an offence for a driver of any vehicle to fail to accord precedence to a pedestrian within the limits of an uncontrolled pedestrian crossing.
				  <br/>  <br/>
				  The penalties include; a fine of &pound;1000.00, a disqualification for any period until a test is past. 
				  Must endorse unless special reasons can be found to avoid endorsement. 
				  3 points and &pound;60.00 fixed penalty.
					<br/>  <br/>
				  The law imposes a very strict duty on the driver. 
				  A realistic defence would have to amount to circumstances beyond the control of the driver. 
				  Not the offence  can be committed by a cyclist.
					<br/>  <br/>
				  Note that the limits of the crossing are marked by studs which are adjacent to the striped lines. 
				  The broken white line along the crossing is to indicate where vehicles should stop.
