The solid white lines are also on the wrong side of the kerb.

I said the white line indicates the edge of the carriageway. There's nothing wrong in crossing it but leaving the carriageway on the speed bump has resulted in damage. Had he done it at any other point or showed a bit of restraint it wouldn't have hampered. So his fault.

Would you - or the OP - suggest that those solid white lines were somehow confusing, meaning that crossing then was fair game? Would you suggest that any consequence befalling the unwary driver as a result was anything other than the driver's own fault?

Can you tell us how a private road should be marked and what legislation covers it?

Care to explain why markings on a private road should be somehow interpreted differently to those on the public road?
