[QUOTE="Andy"] Well, I was cautiously pulling out of a garage, across a stationary line of cars going into town, when an overtaking scooter brushed across the front of me. He put out his leg in an attempt to protect his brand new scooter and unfortunately broke both bones above the ankle. The High Court case I referred to, was a car being allowed out of a turning in similar circumstances, when the blame was attributed 20/80, driver/rider As I stated on the accident report my only other option was to turn left which I might well do in similar circumstances, as the topography of the exit, combined with a line of solid traffic, gives a somewhat restricted view to both individuals. I don't have a problem accepting the offer. Just wondered if I was missing anything significant for the future.[/QUOTE] Surely it's completely your fault for pulling out when you couldn't see it was clear? Admittedly, a lot of the scooter lads ride like they are immortal, but I'd have expected it to be more like 80% your liability and 20% the riders.
