What is the difference between rtc and rta

Probably the main reason so few prosecutions and even fewer being successful being made under the old Section1 was the neccesity to prove intent. This use of collision instead of the 'A' word seems to have originated from police speak and been spread to those linked with the police who want to share ideas.

Doesn't it sound less severe when a police vehicle has a serious collision rather than a serious accident? Damage limitation and all that. Police Community is a forum that is supported financially through advertisements.

But - accident - man was taken ill and crashed and collided with my car and all conditions that day were unusual. He had unusually clear run and picked up speed in the death throes on that particular day! And as Mike says - investigation would have run on same lines - regardless of semantics used! But then - we live in a blame culture in UK. That is apparent - and not just talking about motoring skills either.

WildCat said: They can play with semantics all they want - bottom line is accidents happen. So all in all, Wildcat, It was not an accident as it was entirely preventable Just another collision! Kurgis Liebchen - well done for standing your ground My cousin teacher in that large comp finds that children aged have simply not been taught the HC at all.

She inputs roads safety, Green Cross education, cycling proficiency and hazard awareness into the PSE programme and even reinforces within the curriculum. She has had all of us in the school to give talks on our particular specialisms as well - careerwise!

But it is funny - whenever you mention to parents, and the pro-scam prats - that education for all, proper advertising campaigns like the ones you used to have here - without any out - of - tune hedgehogs is the path to real road safety - they get all huffy and puffy.

Children can do no wrong, and to correct and discipline them properly is "preventing their development" Cous' actually got that chucked at her by an English teacher when she dared to correct the spelling - English - not German. In fact - those kids read and write more accurately in foreign language than they do in their own!

On Cliff's account two moving cars hitting one another would be a collision, but a moving car hitting a lamp-post would be an accident. It's all a bit absurd, isn't it? So if time, energy and money are being spent on such a re-naming it's a waste. An accident is an incident that happens unexpectedly. Only a deliberate act would not warrant an accident category. The emegency services seem to be adopting the collision tag because they wrongly think that an accident takes the burden of blame away from one of the parties invovled in an incident.

It doesn't. I see the point of using collision but why fix something that aint broke. Agree with Optimist, a waste of time. Police Acronym Database. Totally agree. However i don't want to sound like the profit of doom.

Did you know that many fire control centres are going to be closed and 8 regional created to serve the whole country. Resulting in many fire control staff redundancies, possibly lack of local knowledge.

Why fix something that aint broke eh. But remember RTA's don't exist. I know nothing about this situation but am not surprised that things need to change. The world has changed, and in particular in the area of despatching field staff there are vastly improved communications, satnav, CCTV - all kinds of developments which probably mean that local knowledge is much less important and make regionalisation more possible.

While it may not be broken, there are probably large savings to be made on duplicated roles, unnecessary office space and all the overheads that go with that. While I am not an advocate of downsizing for it's own sake, I don't think that stuff should stay the same just to keep the unions happy.

Wasn't there a huge dispute in the last few years over modernising the fire service, which involved giving employees inflation busting pay rises in return promises or am I dreaming? For instance when they are doing the strategic plan or Integrated risk management. For more info ask the FBU. It is because of this that i learnt RTA's no longer exist. This has turned into a good thread though very interesting posts.

Great Britain is going acronym mad. In most cases there's no need for it.
