Who is at fault here? |
man on bike is going fast on a residentioal road and a car is turning to go out of his driveway and accidently hits him hard with his bumper he doesnt have a insurance and the biker doesnt have a licence to drive a bike does each other fix their own car or what do you think they should have done any good suggestions are taken well The vehicle on the main road has priority over a vehicle joining the road, so the car driver is at fault regardless of the status of the rider. The driver could claim extenuating circumstances if the rider was going too fast, but this would be difficult to prove without expert witnesses. You don't need a license to drive a bike. The person driving the car is always at fault. If you are talking about a motorcycle then it would still be the cars fault for not making sure the path was clear before going onto the road. Usually you don't need a license to drive a bike and also the person in a MOTOR vehicle is usually held responsible while moving. Really, they're both at fault, but the driver will probably be held responsible for reckless driving, not to mention driving without insurance. When you say bike, are you referring to a bicycle or motorcycle? That makes a difference. Biker was on the road first. Person in car is supposed to make sure its safe to enter the road. Car driver is at fault. legally the car is at fault recent defencive driving graduate |
