Quick hypothetical:
You are crossing a light controlled crossing with your children on foot. You start to cross on the green man signal. Half way across the signal starts flashing and soon after the lead vehicle (lets just say a BMB for arguments sake) gets a little impatient and starts rolling over the crossing when you and your children are still on it, in an rather impatient, threatening way. You put your hand up in an instinctive “hang on, people still on the crossing and you are driving in to us way” but the idiot keeps coming – you then slap the bonnet in a meaningful STOP I AM NOT HAVING THIS way and he slams on the breaks and gets rammed by the 4x4 behind.... Is the obnoxious passenger in the 4x4 correct in asserting that the “accident” is your fault?
