Norwich Union wont check other cars details

Yes it is something I would notice because I pay attention. And the very definition that it is parked means it wouldn't be that persons fault anyway. You impled that is was by stating such vehicles cause accidents. That implies negligence of the driver of parked car, so yes, actually you did!

[rdm2006]

please highlight the part where i said these vehicles cause accidents.

 

Implies ? . You could say that advertising toilet rolls on the sides of buses implies that they sell them - but they dont!

[gyzmo]

To be totally honest i think that if this had happened to me my gut reaction would be "why should he get away with threatening me when he has no tax etc etc" and lets face it people can park cars in a way that is likely to cause an accident, it does happen, but like i say when it gets to the point that its taking over, then it is time to stop as the only person you are going to harm is yourself. Take a deep breath count to ten and just say sod it!!

 

 

ooo it didn't edit that can we say sod it ?

 

That's where

[rdm2006]

That's where

 

Sorry i dont see the words "these veichles cause accidents"

[rdm2006]

let me put it another way 3 men in a field with an air rifle man A points air rifle at man B, man C in fear of man B being shot runs toward man A to push the rifle in another direction. Man B in fear of being shot puts his foot to one side to step out of the way and trips man C who knocks man A and the rifle is fired.

 

Who's fault was it - I wouldn't like to say

Who played a part in it - well they all did

 

ie you can play a part in an event without it being your fault. However, the fact that it is not your fault does not exclude you from having a part in the final event

Sorry i dont see the words "these vehicles cause accidents"

 

park cars in a way that is likely to cause an accident,

No they are not as following the logic of this argument the person at fault is the person who sold the gun:)

[rdm2006]

Can any one else say that this phrase

 

park cars in a way that is likely to cause an accident

 

is identical to this one

 

"these vehicles cause accidents"

 

they do not look similar to me:rolleyes:

 

[rdm2006]

LOL joncris they found it in another field:D

[JonCris]

Well in that case the owner of the field is liable:confused: leaving his dam weapons all over the place

Really are we talking about parked vehicles or not:confused:

[rdm2006]

no we are talking about words

[JonCris]

If they are likely to cause accidents then there must be some evidence they have caused accidents...............no

[JonCris]

no we are talking about words

 

Yes & both sentences mean the same thing

[rdm2006]

no - one says that it will cause an accident and the other states that it is Likely to

[gyzmo]

It's no more likely to than will because a parked car cannot and will not cause an accident!

 

I give in....

[rdm2006]

ok a man parks his car right by a sign that says "Do not park here this is a blind spot to oncoming traffic"

 

I agree if he got hit it would be the other persons fault for hitting it but at the same time i would also be thinking stupid idiot what did you expect.

 

can you honestly say that you would not think the same?

 

he didn't cause the accident but he did have a part to play in its happening in my view. Talking about the above example.

[gyzmo]

Well if its a blind spot then someone driving round the corner should do so at an appropriate speed so that they can stop in time. the parked vehicle is not the cause of the accident - it is the driver of the other vehicle who has caused it due to inappropriate driving.

 

Will you please accept that an inanimate stationary object does not cause accidents no matter what the scenario.

 

If it blows up - well the cause is whatever caused the car to blow up - faulty workmanship, corrosion etc - it is not the car.

What if it gets blown in the wind by a hurricane - well that's the wind. Not the car.

See?

[rdm2006]

it may not cause it but it can have a part in the end result. so we will just have to agree to disagree

[gyzmo]

It will only play a part in that it happened to be there. It will be as culpable as a skip or wall.

[rdm2006]

funny you should mention a skip one has just been dumped in the middle of the road.

[rdm2006]

its ok, looks like it has been put there while they swap a new one over across the road.

[JonCris]

no - one says that it will cause an accident and the other states that it is Likely to

 

OK then how's this "will likely cause an accident"

[JonCris]

its ok, looks like it has been put there while they swap a new one over across the road.

 

 

So who's at fault if there's an accident.....those across the road.....the driver of the lorry who put the skip there..........or the skip for being there:)
