That said, in the cases where there is CCTV or other evidence that a driver deliberately uses a car as a weapon, I feel intention to seriously injure (due to the nature of the weapon) would be fairly well proven and the cps etc could apply a more aggressive approach. "Accident" or recklessness is not treated as an email excuse when you let your knife go into someone and I think a vehicle should be treated no differently.
Even when drivers are merely being aggressive and then "accidentally" collide - their actions are at least an assault in law and hence a manslaughter charge could stick.
