Accident whilst parked

If the public have access, how can it be private?
If there is a gate, it might not be a public place?
If the gate is broken, does that mean it is no longer private?
If the Dartford river crossing is shut does it cease to be a road?
Whatever and who cares?It is your turn to provide evidence to support your claims.
How many post before you got it? :T
You kept claiming it's a public place and didn't like it when you were told it may not be.I understand and agree with you. Without seeing the OPs car park, I would suggest it is pointless to speculate.0 -
You even missed the point where they stated the police aren't interested.0

Indeed. They have probably taken the view that it is not a public place. They may be right. As I said in post #8 that is ultimately a matter for the courts to decide.
Whether it is worth going to the High Court over a £240 dispute is a mettaer for the OP.0 -

At this stage there's no one to take to court as the driver is unknown.0 -
If the police have declined to act on the basis of "not a public place", the OP could take action against the Chief Constable.AndyMc..... wrote: »At this stage there's no one to take to court as the driver is unknown.0 -

Why?
If it's not covered by the road traffic act then the police haven't done anything wrong.0 -

Well it would be down to the OP to evidence the car park is a public place.0
