presumably there is no evidence that he was driving dangerously at the time of the accident

Sadly not

Still the familly could now bring a private prosecution. Onus of proof isn't as strict there. (RHM will correct me if I'm wrong).

Prison for driving whilst disqualified (I was sitting in my stationary car in my own road when the police went past and they claimed they had seen me driving. My original ban was 1 month in length, for carelessly mounting a kerb in a narrow street during a police random stop).

Police stopping people who are driving down the pavement is profiling. 

Profiling is just wrong.

3pts and a fine to cover the cost of recovering the vehicle?

Utilius est autem absolvi innocentem quam nocentem causam non dicere.

[mikkyT]

Useful is but to swallow blameless how bad case at law not dicere.

Makes even less sense when translated!

[thetank]

It is more important that the innocent is acquitted than that the guilty is not brought to justice.
