The case is high profile only because of who Philip is. So you are saying that he should be prosecuted because he's a royal, irrespective of whether an 'ordinary Joe' would be. How does that sit with your claim that you want him treated equally?
I think most motorists know that it's not a good idea to pull out if you can't see. People make mistakes, however.

I've no interest whatsoever in the royals or the pathetic flag waving royals can't do no wrong idiots
End of
Crown Prosecution Service have announced Mr Windsor will face no prosecution and no further action over the serious collision he caused some weeks ago.
Night follows day is another given.
I am sure this will provide a precedent for future similar cases involving the Ordinary Joe.
Now that's a surprise for the Greek
The Palace wish to "draw a line" under the whole affair and the Royal Family are said to be" relieved " this is an end to the matter. This decision not to prosecute was inevitable and predictable weeks ago. The CPS are said to have considered--
1 The level of culpability-legal speak for blame. By his own admission he could not see the oncoming traffic because of the low sun but still irresponsibly decided to pull out across a 60 mph main road and hope it was clear. He pulled out right into the front of an oncoming car. How much more culpable can you get ?
2 His age. Surely the decision to drive should be on ability to drive, not age. I don't know if Mr Windsor self assessed his ability or was independently assessed.
3 The fact he had given up his licence beforehand. He had almost certainly done this on the advice of his legal team to help avoid the consequences of his reckless decision.
Mr Windsor's contempt for the law was shown by his decision to drive not wearing a seatbelt just two days later.
The whole affair stinks.
