Observation on the legality of overtaking at the crash site[edit]

Hi. I am a little confused about the appropriateness of the "Observation on the legality of overtaking at the crash site" which it seems to me reads like this encyclopaedia's own commentary on the circumstances and environment of the accident. I thought we didn't do that? Isn't it WP:OR or something close to? Thanks and best wishes DBaK (talk) 10:11, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I inserted this section because I thought it might be useful to those understanding whether or not there was a criminal offence undertaken, which is a common enough enquiry when observing the course of events at an accident. I have only used information that can be seen in the articles I quoted as references and from the UK Government website, which, after all, controls all public highways in the UK. I don't think this is particularly covered under WP:OR but I shall modify it a little to make it seem a little less like commentary. Best wishes to you also.

Thank you. I think that's a real improvement. I do understand your point in putting the information in; as I often am, I was confused/concerned by policy here. I am sure that your amendment should render it less vulnerable! Thanks again, DBaK (talk) 17:31, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
A pleasure. Policy can always be a little obscure or difficult to understand so I'm glad you warned me that some saw it as needing amendment. Glad to be of service! Macintosher (talk) 13:04, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
