I let the insurance companies decide whos fault is it. If the driver was doing more than 5mph or didn't leave a door width apart space when passing by then I cannot accept full liability.

Whether they left an inch or a mile when passing you is irrelevant, same goes for the speed they were going. I hope they find you 100% liable, which is what you are, stop trying to snivel out of your responsibilities

I cannot accept full liability.

You seem to think you have a choice...

If you are all blaming me then it looks like its my fault for not installing Gull-Wing doors on my Peugeot 206.


I will go to the station tomorrow and will see any safety warning signs that will indicate whether onus is on driver or passenger.


You want me to take responsibility for something out of my control. Lets say you sailing your boat and one of your passengers committed suicide by jumping off. You as the captain will accept murder charge?


I seen cars go pass parked cars with passenger doors fully open that day with no incident. Im sure the designers that built this place thought about this. If passenger doors are opening and cars cant drive pass because of this then there would be huge delays for cars there due to a design flaw.


All I did was parked correctly in the bay


Don't make me laugh.

Are you saying your passenger opened door when car was coming on purpose?
Nice company you keep.

Onus is on people not being simple, when they are simple they can't read and comprehend what a warning sign says - so there will be no warning signs.

Jeez, here we go with wild and unlikely analogies again. Didn't we have that in the 'I can't park my Q7' thread last week?


They're not the same thing. However, if you were a ferry captain and you let one of your passengers have control over the watertight doors and the ship sank then yes, you would be liable.

Probably trying to escape his drivel as quickly as possible.

All these people ruling out the FOI request are just thinking about asking the question wrong...You just say "Can you please tell me how many 2004 Hyundai Santa Fes went through this area on <date> and how fast they were travelling".

Then you don't need any personal information...And I'm fairly sure there was only one Santa Fe made in 04, anyway

I like to see the whole company go down not just him for allowing this to happen. That's the only way to stop and put a end to this.

Oh, the irony!

And when the response comes back saying "there were X number of Santa Fes between those times. We do not have calibrated speed cameras and therefore don't have records of how fast they were travelling" ...how does that help?

206? What happened to the Mazda that you took a plane to Scotland for?
