If in a junction collision there is evidence, for example, that the junction is a difficult one with limited visibility or there is evidence that the other party was speeding, then that might cause the police to conclude that the level of culpability of the person emerging from the junction is too low to justify prosecuting. As for stalling, how many drivers can honestly say that it has never happened to them?
