Why were you punished?: 4.1 - User as an LEO drove on the wrong side of the roundabout without the other lane of travel being obstructed, this was the cause of a collision via recklessly driving as a government employee.
Why should this appeal be considered?: The whole argument within this dispute is whether or not this is classified as reckless driving under 12.12, thus making it a rule break under 4.1. In accordance to the own law:
"Any person who drives any vehicle with disregard for the safety of persons or property is guilty of this offence."
For this to be classed as reckless driving, I would have to had sent it into the wrong side of the roundabout without ensuring it was clear when I first entered the wrong side thus making the action "Reckless" in nature. My issue with the situation is that the argument used was simply that 40mph on the wrong side of the highway was reckless which is a HIGHLY debatable fact. I was doing around 40/50mph at the time of the crash and less when I took the corner as I did clear the roundabout before entering the wrong side making sure I wouldn't break 12.12.
Afterwards and as a result of poor visibility in 3rd person around that specific corner I spotted the rocket strapped Gwagon doing mach jesus too late and had no chance to avoid the collision. The reporter's vehicle was not fixed either as the accident was clearly not my fault, at least in it's entirety for sure. To emphasize this, the fact an emergency vehicle is on the wrong side of the road doesn't inherent direct responsibility to the driver, specially when the vehicle colliding is doing double the speed limit in the first place when approaching a roundabout.
For further context, here's a clip of Emergency services personnel going around the wrong side of the roundabout in a reckless manner (obviously not) : https://www.itv.com/news/westcountr...ts-pavements-and-goes-wrong-way-on-roundabout
This is obviously an IRL context of the same situation, although it was a police chase and not a response to a shooting with police in Lakeview, notice how the other vehicles around are not driving at speeds exceeding double the speed limit when approaching the roundabout as well.
