Am I right in saying that you could be charged with manslaughter if you
'Fail to offer reasonalbe assistance' to someone in need. Obviously what
is reasonable could be open to interpretation, but perhaps a visit from
the local Constabulary to the home of the LU manager to interview him
might shake him up a bit. Also a good case for naming and shaming I
would have thought (again the manager).


No, failing to offer assistance is not an offence. It will be
interesting to see what happens to both the driver and supervisor.

I have been told that if you run over and injure a cat, you are legally
obliged to render first aid. It seems a little odd that you don't have to
assist a human, but you do an animal.
