In your response to question 2024/0179, you stated "for the 17 collisions which met TfL’s notification and investigation of major incidents (NIMI) criteria, where this information was available, TfL is not aware of any drivers being prosecuted.” Your response suggests that the 25 November 2016 bus crash where a Metroline bus working under contract for TfL critically injured a pedestrian walking in a pedestrian crossing and whose driver was convicted for 'careless driving’ for this incident did not meet TfL's notification and investigation of major incidents (NIMI) criteria (cf. questions 2018/1317, 2018/5146, 2019/6057). Is that correct?
