The other car was doing well over and it would have been signed as a junction to slow down and there were people on the road side which would have made drivers more cautious ..but not that one ! Ok Mog driver was at fault but so was on coming driver. Quite normal for cars to pull out of junctions these days knowing people have to slow or they will slam into car in front .
Ok, I'll bite..
Firstly, how do you conclude in a few seconds of video clip that the Peugeot was "doing well over"..? Nothing else is available to prove either way.
Secondly, at what point would any reasonable person expect the Peugeot driver to do anything different? You clearly hear the horn before the car appears, and any reasonable driver would at the very least be covering the brake at this point. We simply don't have enough information to make judgements from there.
While it's no defence, had the Morgan pulled out in front of a car doing 50, they'd have missed by miles.
I'd not be too surprised if the police took no action as the Morgan owners defence of having left plenty of room for a legally driven car, and the question of how many leptons does one then allow for. A decent lawyer would have a field day here.
I bet the insurance is not simple either.
I've heard it all, now..!! The Peugeot could have been doing 150 and the Morgan would have missed it by miles if it was far enough away..!
Quite why the insurance would be complicated is a baffle. If it was me, my insurance would pay for my repairs. That's what it's for.
There are degrees of blameworthiness in every crash. From the legal perspective, the Morgan driver has little in his defence. He started his manoeuvre showing off by over revving his engine from the wrong side of the junction and failed to take each carriageway as an individual road. He failed to look left with any degree of time and accuracy as far as I can tell, and caused an oncoming car with full right of way to crash. That part is simple.
If there were any injuries, the argument surrounding the Peugeot's actions would be debated. Much more would be needed and the witness testimony would be considered.
I doubt there were any injuries, other than shaken up and minor bruising. Both cars, whilst reacting shockingly to onlookers (and clearly the camera operator was shaken) stayed on their wheels and stopped under control.
It could have ended up much, much worse. The Morgan could have been hit amidships, or the Peugeot could have ridden up the drivers side and hit the Morgan drivers head.
So...who's for a lynch mob, then..?
