But a supposedly trained Uber driver?
I wouldn't want my waist anywhere near an erection. ..please...
In the Westminster bridge attack and in Borough they were deemed terrorist related because the beligerants carried weapons and went on to use them.
That's a fundamental difference here in that the alleged perp simply ran away. So I ask "Why did he run away if innocent"?

I think the incident you are talking about was in Battle, Sussex. The woman drunk driver hit a family out for a morning walk and the car ended up in a cafe. She killed the mother and got a pittance of a sentence.
Loads of accidents caused by drivers - some elderly would you believe - hitting the wrong pedal or setting on an automatic. Tremendous work by NSC to twist the blame according to their own agenda with zero evidence.
It was an accident. As you were.

I notice the BBC were all over this story this afternoon. Can't think why....

I guess what is new is when some non terror incidents occur they are treated as terror incidents which involves dozens of heavily armed police, closing roads and transport etc.
For the general public, in the immediate moments there is panic, and then there is inconvenience and disruption.
In this incident there was initial and widespread panic, then a number of roads plus South Kensington station was closed.
The fact that non terror incidents are reported as non terror incidents should tell you where we are..........and that is far from normal sadly.
Doesn't answer why he legged it? Surely a runner is now a target for the very reasons we've discussed.
I could understand that stance if he was elderly - he wasn't. I could understand it if he was inexperienced but he was a qualified(allegedly) Uber driver. Blimey not a good ad for Uber if true.

Only one eye witness has said they tried to "leg it". If he did it's not like he got very far as he's only a few feet from his car.
More likely those that apprehended him immediately thought (like yourself) it was a terrorist attack, charged him and the poor bloke (already in a state of panic no doubt due to the accident) tries to escape them fearing for his own life/safety.
You hear it all the time with hit & run's where it was truly an accident. They realise what has happened, panic sets in and they flee the crime scene and only when they are home it sinks in and they tell someone/the police.

Incident happened about 10 yards in front of me - I was waiting at the traffic lights to try and cross to where the car mounted the pavement. Definitely panic (and understandably so) from the crowd, the manoeuvre was quite something, definitely not just a small little accident. It was made worse by hitting bollards which to some people a bit further away sounded like gun shots (heard one lady on the phone to the emergency services say she heard guns fired). The response time of the emergency services was incredible though
Really? what do you need to do to 'qualify' as a Uber driver? I thought all you needed was a licence and a car.
