Maybe you have gone into another site !!!!
Car park rules are the same as for public roads PROVIDED they are open and the public has a right of access or use at the relevant time – i.e. the Road Traffic Acts apply just as much there as they do on a public highway.

who is to blame?
she says me coz i should have stopped when i saw her reversing.
i say her as she was reversing into my path.anyway we’ll have to see what happens.
there was a witness but he said he didnt see much :roll:
i think she maybe tried to intimidate me as i have my p plates on as a new driver and my car is only a n reg punto were hers is brand new
From what you have said so far, and the outline facts that you have given, the law on liability is quite clear. IF you were driving oin a ‘straight line’ towards the exit of this car park and IF the Third party reversed out of a parking place into your path (or indeed into your side), then the Third Party is wholly at fault and will have to take 100% of the blame for the accident.
If she says ”you were going too fast” then the question is if she knew this, why didn’t she simply stop???
If she says ”I didn’t see you” or similar, then she has to accept liability for failing to keep a proper look out.
When ANY driver reverses ANY vehicle, the law REQUIRES that they keep a particular look out for other vehicles, pedestrians, or obstructions in their way and take the neccessary action so as to avoid a collision. Clearly by failing to stop, she failed to take ANY action so as to prevent a collision and therefore was driving ”without due care and attention”.
It would assist you if you could state in your insurance claim (you are insured aren’t you???) that you had NO opportunity to avoid the collision as she simply reversed out without any warning and without stopping. Also it would be most helpful IF you sounded an ”audible warning” (hooted the horn) even at the last moment, whether she heard it or not (if you see what I am getting at !!!).
Please tell us what type of insurance you have (RTA Only; Third Party; TP F&T; Fully Comp etc etc) and I will advise you on how best to proceed from here.
Hope that this helps.
OK I’ve done some tests and it seems that the ”b44” part of your user name is what is tripping off the software. Why this should be I simply don’t know. ”b4” is OK as is ”B 44” it simply doesn’t like ”B44”. (The chatrooms are not case sensitive.
My advice is to use the name ”LadyB 44” or ”LadyB_44” or even ”Lady44” and all will be well.
Yes I am a bit puzzled as well KC. There seems to be a deafening silence from the two love-birds.
This hurts me more than I can say, ….but I have to agree with Mr B’s take on this mess.
It seems absolutely clear to me that the invading forces (US + UK + an assorted rag bag of miscellaneous ‘others’) appeared to have had NO clear strategy once they had defeated Saddam’s army; thay had NO real vision of the country they were ‘liberating’; they have NO exit strategy either. In fact they are flapping around from one incident to another simply firefighting.
There sems to be a total lack of intelligence on the ‘opposition’ to the military government; they seem not to know who is to be trusted and who isn’t; they lost the Media war months ago.
OK so they removed the ‘despotic’ leadership of Iraq – hurrah !!! …freedom for the poor old oppressed Iraquis …. no more state sponsored murder & torture …. no more corruption… yeah, right.
So now we have sectarian warfare on a vast scale. Sunni Moslems murder Shia Moslems in cold blood , and vice-versa. Both lots hate the coalition forces with a passion. The country is rapidly decending from chaos into what amounts to civil war.
Every incident where the poorly trained, poorly led, and poorly motivated US troops even so much as clip a murderer round the ear is blown up into an international crisis. Naturally the Media will blow everything up out of all proportion. There will no doubt be show trials of the soldiery, severe punishments for the lowest common denominator, etc etc, Academics, opinion formers, Liberal politicians, even student radicals will be demonstrating on the streets demanding an end to the ”illegal occupation of Iraq’
This appalling debacle will provide ‘motivation’ for every religious nutcase to focus on and give them yet another excuse for bombings and murders. The show will go on and on and on…………
The chances are that your user name in the chatrooms contains a banned word or is itself a banned word.
As an example – the word ”arsenal” (as in football club) is a banned word because it contains …arse.. in it.
If you try to enter anything at all the software looks at both your user name as well as the text that you type and if any of it is banned – it blocks it and sends you the message that you in fact got.
So……. do tell…….. what is your user name in the chatrooms ????? :lol: :lol: :lol:
This has to be a wind-up. Trafalgar Square ……. 11.00am on a Saturday morning?????
The only thing you’ll meet is thousands of idiot tourists all feeding the thousands of disease ridden pidgeons.
