Congratulations on teaching your daughter. I assume you taught her to a better standard than the person that taught the Mazda driver. I don't need to take Mellotron's advice as I already practice it and teach it. On the other hand, you seem to know jack shit about insurance and determining...

Ha Ha. I'm not advocating speeding at all nor am I sugggesting the Lambo driver is a role model. I'm merely pointing out the liability issues as I believe the insurers are likely to view it. The lambourghini driver could probably do with some lessons about hazard perception but equally the...

Ooooh errrrrrrrrrr missus, get you!!!! (4 as requested). I do know about the hatched markings, I'm a driving instructor! (only one exclamation mark this time). Perhaps if you accept there is no real evidence that at the time of the accident the Lambo was driving excessively fast and...

You are aware that google streetview isn't realtime! Look at the first video and you will not see the islands or bollards so presumably since the google camera car went that way they have changed the road layout!

A lot would depend on how fast the car was deemed to be travelling and then whether the police and/or CPS felt that speed was reckless. No doubt you are a pedestrian and have had reason to cross the road and when you do so, you check that it is safe to cross the road and that should apply to...

:facepalm:

Doesn't matter what the driver said because there is video evidence, it's an open and shut case against the driver of the mazda. Taking it a step further, what exactly did he say to the BMW owner? Could have been 'I'm really really sorry about your car, there was nothing I could do, I'm really...

It is their fault and if they can't judge speed then perhaps they shouldn't be on the road. Based on your ideas, the other way of looking at it is that if you see someone speeding then you have the right to pull out in front of them and not be liable for the consequences. Does that sound...

I hope you're not a lawyer as I can't see you having many successful cases!!! The video you use to suggest he is flooring it and slowing down again and again merely shows him waiting at a zebra crossing, accelerating away and then stopping ahead, possible for traffic. Accelerates once and...

Another way of looking at is why should you have to pay for damage to your property caused by the negligence of an identified third party!

Over revving does not constitute speeding, he could have been in first gear!!! Also, how did you get to 100ft? Suggest you look at the video again!

Doesn't matter what he was doing in the minutes leading up to the crash though, it is what he was doing at the time of the crash. By all accounts the car is well known in the area and the driver acts like a complete knob but that won't have a bearing on deciding liability. The Mazda driver...

Beat me too it. I spent too long typing!!!

From the insurance perspective, speeding itself doesn't automatically constitute negligence. If he had been doing 30 and someone pulled out in front of him then it is the other drivers fault. If he was doing 31 and someone pulled out then it is still 100% the other drivers fault. That is my...

Exactly. Also, the stopping distance is for a driver reacting and braking. In this instance, it would be difficult to tell when he first braked. Finally, whether he was speeding or not, the fault of the accident is the driver of the Mazda who pulled out into his path.

Where exactly is the evidence that the Lambo was speeding. Have to agree with Badger and would suggest that the video does them a lot of favours and that the Mazda's insurers will be picking up a substantial bill!

What makes you think it is a 20mph zone? Rubbish. Apart from the fact we don't like knobs who drive fast cars, there is no evidence to suggest she was driving too fast. Had she been, there would have been considerably more damage and they would have come to a stop much further up the road...
