Light hearted Post - People's view on Liability in an accident

[fossyant]

Not to be taken too seriously. But one can see why sorting out minor accident's cost a fortune. All down to who is at fault, or indeed who they perceive is at fault.

Got a friend that has run into the back of another car. Car in front was indicating left, enters yellow box, but then stops to let another driver turn right into side road (left turn was at the box). My friend runs into back of car in front.

Obviously it's not my friends fault - it's the other driver . Now she's had two 'friends' (includes me) tell her its her fault as she had not left enough room between her and the car in front. She 'may' get a sharing of the liability, but will have to expect to take this on the chin. I can see her ranting on and on about this - she is quite 'hot headed'.

You try to be nice, let someone out of a tight spot and let them come across your front and what do you get? Your back doors smashed in lol.

(I was going to write something constructive but where's the fun in that)

Makes a change; a girl giving it to a bloke up the back end. I wonder if there's any sort of websites about that?

It is ALWAYS someone else's fault. It is never mine.

Your friend ran into the back of someone - regardless of her hot headedness, she's at fault.

Could have been worse. She could have been cycling, with a helmet cam, and called Mathew!

....and also still never not at fault..........

She's at fault, I don't care how hot-headed she is, she drove into the back of someone because she wasn't paying attention, the dozy mare.

 

[fossyant]

Think she is coming round a bit more.

Well, tell her to cover the brake before she hits something else!

There's no excuse for entering a yellow box and you should expect trouble if you do!!!















Thinking about it, there was a bird on embarrassing bodies the other night with a yellow box and Dr Pixie said it was fine as long as you wiped the mucus off regularly so enter at will!
