The person 'parked up' actually pulled out as your mate overtook that same person to pass? Anything coming the other way at the time that your mate should have given way to? Seems clear cut to me....well I know who'd I'd blame anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mafya Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 If your mate swerved due to a parked car pulling out and ended up hitting someone else coming the other way then I'm afraid your mate is at fault. He/she would have been better off hitting the car that was pulling out.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Afzal Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 (edited) The OP only describes 2 cars involved, not 3. The OP has not described the accident in a clear enough way, and that is the reason for confusion among us. Only 2 cars are mentioned. The OP specifically tells us that there are no white lines. We are left not knowing if the friend ran into the car that was pulling away without looking in the mirror, or if the friend ran in to a car coming from the opposite direction. If only two cars were involved, what is the relevance of mentioning the white lines Edited August 26, 2016 by Dr Afzal Typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 It's not particularly clear I agree, and I don't know the relevance of the white lines. The OP doesn't seem to intend to explain though, so I guess that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be blamed for bad English. Can you get someone else to write the description as this does not clearly explain matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
