I suppose taxi drivers don't necessarily have a duty of care do they?

In a police interview, a suspect can progress in the following manner:
Provide a ‘no comment’ interview (exercise their right to silence)
Answer some police questions
Answer all police questions
Make a prepared statement
The course of action to take is individual and a ‘one size fits all’ approach is not appropriate. It is crucial that the correct decision is made at the police interview so that the correct foundation can be created for the case, should the case progress to trial.
It is crucial that you instruct a solicitor to represent you at the police station as your lawyer will be best placed on the correct course of action to take.

Yes, I can imagine the driver being filmed on CCTV, trying to help the girl to her door, perhaps with his arm round her trying to support her.
Could easily be miscontrued.

There are a few exceptions.
It is an offence not to give encryption details in cases involving Child Abuse.
Certain regulatory bodies and agencies can insist on answers being given.
Any information given cannot be used in evidence against the person giving it, but it is a Criminal Offence not to give the information.
This is an important exception, rarely used but essential to protect public safety.
I was never Police , never had the power of arrest, but had to comply with PACE when interviewing.
It came as something as a shock to some that not answering my questions could land them a jail sentence or an unlimited fine.
