SHOOT THEM ALL KIDS, CYCLISTS, LAWERS, GOV. PEEPS all brians, and colins, and phillip's cause it is spelt philip yer stuck up feckin tosser!!!! . ban 4x4 and chainsaws, shave hairy arsed peeps, no face hair allowed, and no cats, wire up dentists and doctors to the mains and just flick the switch each time yer need to, dogs owners who dont clean up should eat it, same with horse owners who should be in a can anyways, cause their footwear is shit on the road, drown tractors who leave shit all over the road and travel at 2 mph in the middle of the feckin road with big feck off spikes back and front.

With all that sitting on the fence and farfing about, your location starts to make a lot more sense. b0x1

Sorry to hear about the accident, cases like this everybody's a loser. The advice your pal was given may not be a strict interpretation of the law relating to accidents. More likely it is a statistical guesstimate, based on knowledge of court claims, and the percentage that gets applied during the courtroom steps wrangling, which is where a lot of compensation decisions are decided. Not by the "Law".

This same people logic dictates that you must not contact the family to inquire about the lady's condition. Although you would only be doing the decent thing in worrying about the injured person, the barristers will use this to paint you as being guilty, and this will weaken any defense case. Sharks in wigs.

My wife many years ago stopped her car because a kid ran across the road without looking. The kid ran into the side of her stopped car. The parents claimed damages. Ann's insurance paid out, she lost all NCB's. No redress. The insurance company said, read the small print. We reserve the right to settle cases. They paid out this money for a blind b'stard kid who ran into the side of Ann's stopped car. The policeman on the scene said "If a child falls out of a tree under the nose of your car and you can't stop, they will find against you"

The compensation system is positively biased in favour of the pedestrians. And effing cyclists. So don't be hitting any of them out there, y'hear?

That's the kind of narrow minded crap that's got this country in the state it is today. If you thought that about motorcycles, you'd make a great Welsh chief of police.
Next you'll want a licence to leave the house and walk the pavement.

Yup, a case of vigilante hysteria. You get bitten by a dog & I suppose you'll want them all put down

But most of the time he's right. A lot (not all) but most have no idea about road safty. I personaly think helmets and lights should be the law (saw an accident years ago with a small childs head split open) And they need some sort of training that they have to do by law.

I'm all for good education on any subject, but just making something 'the law' is not, in my book, a good thing.

Accidents will always happen, even to the people who've had training in whatever field they've supposed to have had training in.

People die, people have accidents. If you honestly believe that the government is the answer to all our problems, then you might as well line your self up against the wall and be shot.
What happened to parents taking responsibility for teachings of basic safety to their siblings?

My view with push bikes is along the same lines as Robbo ...A friend of mine worked his arse off and saved his money to get the car he wanted only 3 day's after he bought it he was pulling away from a Green light only to hit a tossa on a push bike that had gone through a RED light broke both my mates headlights killed his bonnet and broke his windscreen ...the licra clad tossa got up did some swearing and limped off with a bent bike ...mate couldn't afford to repair the car for months licra clad tossa was seen the next day running the same red light how is that fair to the rest of us that will be in front of a court of law if we damage someones car with no insurance i don't want to pay to use the roads but have to

I don't agree push-bikes and pedestrians should carry insurance. That's like pouring petrol on a fire to put it out, thievin' b'stard lawyers would have a field day.

Here in Ireland all insurance companies have to contribute to a fund which is applied to help those that were hit, damaged or injured by an un-insured party.

If there is a similar fund in the UK, your mate should have looked for compensation from them.

Oh, and I figure there must have been a camera on that junction, otherwise the lycra lout would have claimed injuries off your mate.

:yo: :bow:


I totally agree .. we're creating a generation of "can't do's" because of all this mollycoddling...

Accidents will always happen

not if you read as many government and legal papers as I do ......... there is apparently now no such thing as an 'accident' they are now the resultants of unacceptable risks or 'opportunites' 3ck04
