Simple, seen it happen a few times, the car to the right had right of way and the peugeot pulled out of a side turning into its path without looking properly.

Re: Heart stopping moment

yes , in a recent car insurance survey more cars have accidents in private or supermarket car parks percentage wise

my granson car was hit in a supermarket , driver drove off without stopping , lucky had a 3 witness who took the number of the car

Re: Heart stopping moment

people in the pic were driving the pug.... the zafira had a middle aged man and woman sat in it (man on phone)

zafira had an "L" plate on the bonnet but i don't think it was for the guy in the driving seat

Re: Heart stopping moment

Technically the guy in the Zafira should have removed the L plate no?
My mum got told off by the police when I learned to drive for not removing the L plate and got told that insurance would not be valid if the car had accident with her driving and the L plate on..

Always made me wonder that did

It's a car boot sale. Oh and front bumper and other bits too ...

Yes!
That they can't get that right speaks volumes for the quality, ahem, of the driving instruction on offer.

I'm surprised there aren't more carpark shunts with idiots using end to end paired bays as 'roads'. They are parking bays - not thoroughfares. Swinging into a parking bay I do not want to meet a car 'coming the other way'.
