    • Hello,

      On 15/1/24 booked appointment with Big Motoring World (BMW) to view a mini on 17/1/24 at 8pm at their Enfield dealership.  

      Car was dirty and test drive was two circuits of roundabout on entry to the showroom.  Was p/x my car and rushed by sales exec and a manager into buying the mini and a 3yr warranty that night, sale all wrapped up by 10pm.  They strongly advised me taking warranty out on car that age (2017) and confirmed it was honoured at over 500 UK registered garages.

      The next day, 18/1/24 noticed amber engine warning light on dashboard , immediately phoned BMW aftercare team to ask for it to be investigated asap at nearest garage to me. After 15 mins on hold was told only their 5 service centres across the UK can deal with car issues with earliest date for inspection in March ! Said I’m not happy with that given what sales team advised or driving car. Told an amber warning light only advisory so to drive with caution and call back when light goes red.

      I’m not happy to do this, drive the car or with the after care experience (a sign of further stresses to come) so want a refund and to return the car asap.

      Please can you advise what I need to do today to get this done. 
       

      Many thanks

    • We have finally managed to obtain the transcript of this case.

      The judge's reasoning is very useful and will certainly be helpful in any other cases relating to third-party rights where the customer has contracted with the courier company by using a broker.
      This is generally speaking the problem with using PackLink who are domiciled in Spain and very conveniently out of reach of the British justice system.

      Frankly I don't think that is any accident.

      One of the points that the judge made was that the customers contract with the broker specifically refers to the courier – and it is clear that the courier knows that they are acting for a third party. There is no need to name the third party. They just have to be recognisably part of a class of person – such as a sender or a recipient of the parcel.

      Please note that a recent case against UPS failed on exactly the same issue with the judge held that the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 did not apply.

      We will be getting that transcript very soon. We will look at it and we will understand how the judge made such catastrophic mistakes. It was a very poor judgement.
      We will be recommending that people do include this adverse judgement in their bundle so that when they go to county court the judge will see both sides and see the arguments against this adverse judgement.
      Also, we will be to demonstrate to the judge that we are fair-minded and that we don't mind bringing everything to the attention of the judge even if it is against our own interests.
      This is good ethical practice.

      It would be very nice if the parcel delivery companies – including EVRi – practised this kind of thing as well.

But does that also mean as a pedestrian I must have something similar?

 

I would like to see a "jay walking" law, such as in the USA.

 

 

 

I have seen several accidents over a couple of years - caused by cyclists. One that had no reflectors on the bicycle and rider wore no reflective clothing on an unlit road and poor weather conditions. Not content with that, he was weaving all over the road whilst talking on a mobile !

 

2 at least were caused by cyclists ignoring traffic signals.

 

An accident reported on our Local News a few days ago - a young lad is in a coma, had he been wearing a helmet this would not be the case and the Father is campaigning to make the wearing of protective clothing, mandatory. The reason the lad was not wearing the helmet his parents had purchased for him. "Because it messed up his hair style" !!

 

Pavements are for pedestrians. Roads are for vehicles, be they cars, lorries or bicycles. If everyone used the roads according the laws and with respect to other road users we might find we coexisted a little better.

 

 

 

As always it is the few who make it bad for the majority.

I agree in principle in what you say but what tends to happen is cyclists blame that the roads are too dangerous and this why they have to use the pavements but then pedestrians start getting run over by the cyclists..

Aha, now we are back at the beginning aren't we :lol:

 

We used to pay "Road Tax" - then Winston Churchill decided that the tax should go into general funds to build hospitals n schools and maybe even roads !!

 

What few pavements we do have in my rural community are not well maintained - the roads are even worse :(

 

So it doesn't matter where the cyclists ride, it isn't safe.

I live in rural cornwall, there are a few national cycle routes around the county, a lot of the cycle routes are incorporated into the footpaths. I drive a car , I cycle and I also walk, I rarely see the problems you get in the citys!

hello all:-)
