It may be due to other person's fault, but still there are lot of accidents that can be prevented if you are careful. It is specially be important to be extra cautious about old and young(children). But that is for future! as an accident had happened.First if Police did not grant bail, (which they can) they will produce the Driver to a Magistrate. The Magistrate can either remand or grant bail. There is no fixed term as 14 days, but that is the maximum time a Magistrate can remand a person at one time(so it can be extended for periods of 14)Such accidents were rare in past and drivers were granted bail in the past but due to huge number of deaths on the road the courts are strict now in serious injuries and fatal injuries.Since the injured is unconscious there is a likelihood that the driver will be remanded(as there is likelihood of the person dying and accident will covert to a fatal accident(Penal Code offence))But it is important to emphasis the manner in which it happened and who was the at fault on available evidence at that time.(police will file a report(B- report)) The report should include the brief of evidence recorded so far.If the Driver was not at fault at all(this is rare, but if his fault was minimal) eg Drunkard pedestrian , suddenly approaching road in night Such things should be stated to the Magistrate before remanding. A lawyer is needed for that, though an accused can speak to the Magistrate directly.If the Driver is employed that fact needed to be stated and if he was not intoxicated that can also be stated(since it is a cold area that is essential).The speed of the vehicle is also can be stated and whether proper road rules were complied with are factors that are needed to be stated to the Magistrate.It is important that Driver is produced to a Magistrate without delay if bail is not granted by the Police.There are honest Police officers and they do a honest job. Not that all are corrupt, but they all(most) comply with orders from person in authority including politicians.If the Driver is remanded for 14 days an application for bail can be made within that time period and if the condition of the injured had improved generally bail can be obtained within 14 days .(such applicaitons are made by Motions through lawyers)It is always good to approach the family of the injured and pay for adequate compensation for the injury.I do not think that Driving Licence will be revoked unless there is a high degree of negligence on the part of Driver. This is a last resort by a court for heavy negligence.</blockquote>
