I'm afraid you're talking complete b0lll0cks (note: note a swear word as proved in the case of the crown vs Chris Seale 24/11/1977) The definition of a public place is quite that. A car park with the ability to house 500 cars is a public place as it invites the public in to park and shop / whatever the attraction is. A resident's car park is exactly that as residen't car park. What part of the word resident can be interpreted as public?

Re read the bold highlighted part.....any road (in Scotland it's any "way") the public has access to.

If I can walk through the residents car park without climbing a fence then it's public...since I have access to it.

You're obviously not for believing me - your choice.

Come one then show us why.

I've already quoted RTA 1988 clause 143.
Try reading it.

Who would pay for the damage to your car if your neighbour crashed into it on your shared drive and they had no insurance?
Would you be happy they weren't insured or would you say "that was daft, let's have your insurance details and we'll be sorted"?

Doesn't say pavement or car park either though

Road defined as
(a)F3 , in relation to England and Wales, means any highway and any other road to which the public has access, and includes bridges over which a road passes ,
(b)in relation to Scotland, means any road within the meaning of the Roads (Scotland) Act 1984 and any other way to which the public has access, and includes bridges over which a road passes

My driveway is private and none of them.

Wembley Staduim has public access but it's not a road.

You need to clarify one or two things here.

Where is the private lot you speak of in 3? If thats where you car was hit she doesnt need insurance.

If you car breaks down. Motor insurance will not cover a break down.

For emergency hospital treatment use an ambulance.

Read your insurance policy. You may have a duty to disclose the accident.

Do you have comprehensive insurance?

Total toss, bangs head:o
