Rear ending.......who is at fault?

anfield liv

Interesting case for a knowledgeable legal expert.
Person A was driving along c20 kmph in a built up area and without warning a passenger started to get out of the car in front!!!!...which is still driving in the middle of the road!!! Person A steps on the brakes and tips the bumper of the car in front,causing a little damage to both vehicles.The police come to the scene and arrest the passenger of the car in front who was under the influence of something and was the cause of the accident. Few weeks pass and the driver of the car in front gets a solicitor to issue a letter for damages to person A...and also issues a letter for damages for a minor who was in back of car to person A also...............There is no mention whatsoever of the person that caused the accident who was alighting from a moving vehicle and who was derogatory to Person A........and of course was subsequently arrested.!! The people concerned would be from an ethnic minority (a sense of humour is required!!!) background and the gent in question would have a string of convictions...does it make a difference? Is there some sort of scam going on with people claiming insurance etc etc ? What shall the outcome be?

"..the place is crawling with them"!!!

Do I detect racist overtones in your "question"?

I tell it as I was told and am in no way racist and apologise if I caused offence and have edited my post accordingly;)

Yes, yes the law is different for those pesky ethnics, they get the death penalty while the rest of us get away with it yahoo!

Person A needs to go see Mr. A (he is a solicitor).

Get Mr. T to pay Person B a visit.

I'm not sure what I find more offensive - the racism or the lack of basic punctuation and paragraphing.

Actually no its the lack of being able to use the bloody search function!

Isnt this what insurances is for? Pass the letter on to them and let them deal with it.

Make sure they know all the facts. His race isnt a fact(or)

When you report trolls do you say it in thread or is that not the etiquette here?

not quite sure if you're actually serious here but in any case person A is at fault for the accident.
end of.
you drive at a speed that you can safely stop your vehicle should something happen in front of you.
doesnt matter what happens in front of you ( unless someone throws the car intoo reverse!) you should be driving slowly and at a FAR ENOUGH DISTANCE to stop safely.

person A responsible.
