Lady Stacey – “The Good”Driver 100% to blame
“I have come to the view that the accident happened because Mr Swinton pulled out onto the main road once the pursuer had come round the corner and should have been visible to Mr Swinton, had he taken due care.”
“On the matter of contributory negligence, I am not persuaded that there is evidence to show that the pursuer was guilty of contributory negligence.”
“The Ugly”• Bend
• Lorry and motorcyclist on approach
• Lorry over centre line
• Motorcyclist near centre line
• Collision and motorcyclist loses right leg
What to do in the event of an accident?
• STOP at the scene if the accident has caused injury, or if there’s damage to a vehicle, property or street furniture (such as a street lamp). If possible, alert oncoming traffic.
• CONTACT the police (999 from a landline or 112 from a mobile) if anyone is injured, the collision is causing a hazard or someone has left the scene without exchanging details.
• OBTAIN the registration number(s) of vehicle(s) involved.• PHOTOGRAPH the scene of the accident and note road
number/specific location. Photograph any road surface defect that may have caused the accident.
What if it happens to you?
• It’s your choice, NOT your insurer’s• Motorcycle Law Scotland’s Legal Expense
