Per Ardua Ad Astra
On my last operational station one of our chaps was involved in a road traffic accident, he thought he was on a dual carriageway when in fact he was on a single carriageway, he pulled out to overtake and hit another vehicle head on. I attended the scene with the O/ic and found that the police were already in attendance taking measurements and measuring skid marks. Our chap was in shock but unhurt apart from a few bruises, the other driver was taken away by ambulance but again not seriously hurt.
Not only did the RAF charge and fine our man and put him on on jankers, and even though the magistrate at the civilian court agreed with our chap that it as a simple mistake due to the nature of the road, he was fined quite heavily.
I always thought that it was unfair that he was nailed twice for the one offence.
