What you thought you might get away with running someone down deliberately and cop to death by dangerous? I'm sure MGF will be along with chapter and verse at some point, but my copy of Butterworths is 5 years out of date and sitting on a shelf 40 miles away from by current geographical location.

Did I miss something here, or did manslaughter get redefined to include being run over? :p

Thank you, Dave, for considering my sensibilities.
