Whose Fault?
A driver is proceeding along an urban road, within the Magic Speed
Limit, when suddenly, without warning (having been stationary on the pavement), a cyclist cycles across a pedestrian crossing (against the pedestrian light) right in front of the driver. The driver cannot swerve as there is oncoming traffic and it's a narrow road, so he tries an emergency stop, but he still ends up hitting the cyclist giving him some nasty injuries. Whose fault is this collision? |

If the driver saw the cyclist on the footpath he should have expected him to do something stupid? Well doing something "stupid" is what he did and so the driver cannot be blamed for that. He did his bit by sticking to 30mph, if that is the speed limit on that street which meant that the cyclist was more likely to survive, whereas if he was hit at 40mph, he would probably have died. -- Simon Mason |
