In my experience, if you just offer the commoner you crashed into a few hundred quid, they soon see that it was all their fault. :D
not sure whos fault it is.. but don;t let yourself get worked up about it
i was on my way down to cambridge the other week, stopped half way to catch the football, as i got into the pub, i heard this bang, a car had pulled into the main road and got bumped
she was in a right state, but why i ask? everyone was ok, whats the panic.. just try and not let it get to you, and i say as soon as possible, get out driving again, don’t stop (unless somone is reversing ;) )

well i say a crash i mean a slight bump but still :(
was in car park at a shop and i was on my way to the exit. this women in a very nice new mondeo starts to reverse into my pathway. she didnt see me and reversed right into the side of me!!!
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
take it from one who knows hun…shes at fault…and aint she lucky it wernt a kid she bloody hit the dopey moo ?? its her responsibilty to check all mirrors and blind spots to ensure that it is safe for her to reverse….if it comes to it tell em u were stationary…can they prove it…?? lets hope u were lol :wink: good luck and lie through your teeth :P
This just proves my theory about women drivers. :roll:

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.
