No prosecutions that mean much now.
Even if you kill someone, it's hard to get sent down these days.
So what does it matter, just a bit of inconvenience, with a good solicitor, you'll escape most charges, except drink/drug driving, as the evidence stands up.

Very disturbing report in our local paper (Shropshire Star) last Saturday about a car that swerved onto the wrong side of the road and killed a 67 year old motorbike rider. Happened at Aberhosan, Machynlleth in May last year, the car driver got a two year ban and 27 week suspended jail sentence, the car drivers solicitor said 'he was very ill and is wracked with guilt' - yeah maybe, but the totally innocent motorbike rider was killed instantly.
