Road rule advice needed

[oneofsix]

Unless you can prove they were not there when you moved (in which case you didnt hit them and there was no accident :P)

they weren't there when I moved but were by the time I got there, does that work? This is why I wonder how accurate Death_Inc's sketch is, if it was more a case of corner to corner or rear quarter, both vehicles moving into each other, then the wrong side of the road defence would have a better chance.

I'm pretty sure the sketch is correct, the damage is on the side of 'a'

I think this is a classic 50/50 fault accident. each driver should pay for their own damage.

just my opinion.

+1

Even if it's not 50/50, they both could've done better and short of fucking around with some sort of court neither is likely to want to pay the other. Shit happens, move on.

So A is significantly more damaged than B? How damaged is it? Have there been any repair quotes yet?

[unstuck]

Both parties need 5-10 mins in the naughty chair, no insurance, lack of attention to what is happening around them, not owning up to any responsibility for the mishap.

Its Habeebs fault (the dairy owner)...he should have lights and a stop/go guy working that area.

No one has asked the most important question: Why was no one wearing high visibility clothing?

[Berries]

No one has asked the most important question: Why was no one wearing high visibility clothing?

Or which vehicle was the woman driving.

[Asher]

Or which vehicle was the elderly Asian woman driving.

Fixed for you

A is pretty bent, no quotes yet, but it'll be significant. B hasn't got a scratch.

Correct.

Or which vehicle was the woman driving.

Um....both.

I assumed they were both being driven by women, turns out the first post doesn't actually mention it.

EDIT:

Um....both.

I loled.

[Scuba_Steve]

If only, neither vehicle is insured.....

if worst comes to worse 30$ (I think) gets you a court mediation thingy, at the very-least it'll be an "official" 3rd party making the decision on who's at fault. Could be a "friendly" way to sort whose paying.

Well that confirms it A is in the wrong.

[HenryDorsetCase]

B. to get to a point where B hit A, A had to have moved first, ergo B has backed into a stationary vehicle.

[HenryDorsetCase]

So B was driving like she was doing stunts in Die Hard? (or BOURNE 2)?
