Hi,

we had a car accident and police attended the scene later, I said I was the passenger.

police officer rang me few weeks later asking for my version of the traffic crash report and during the conversation she said that she have footage that i am the driver and that am lying to them and She thinks that I was intoxicated.

she never asked me for breath test that night but now she mentioned that they might consider “perverting the course of justice” so my question is can they proceed with this charge as I wasn’t intoxicated that night and it was a single vehicle accident? And if so what’s is the punishment expected for someone who never had any issues with police/law and also that if conviction is recorded can end the future of their career?

thanks in advance
