** Shame about this bit:
" (3) In this section:
"impact" involving a vehicle includes:
(a) an impact with any other vehicle or with a person or object, "
I pointed *directly* to this but you simply did not bother to read it .

** Not weird at all - it is bleeding obvious that intent to harm a person
must exist.

** Section 51A has nothing to say about causing actual damage or bodily
harm.
It is entirely about driving behaviour and intent.
The title alone tells you that.
Ever considered a remedial reading course - pal ??
Cos you .ing need one.
