What is the name of your state? United Kingdom, Manchester
this is what happened
accident at NCP car park in Manchester on 12th April 2007 at approximately 3:00 – 4:00pm.
Our vehicle: Driver and three passengers.
Other vehicle: Driver and one passenger.
The incident is as follows:
Both vehicles were stationary. The barrier was up for the vehicle in front to go; the brake light went off so in effect we assumed the car in front would go. I slowly lifted up the brake so it would roll down slowly as it was downhill (clutch was down and the gas pedal wasn’t used at anytime during the incident.) We were going no more than 2 mph and I realised that the vehicle in front did not moved so I tried to brake as quickly as possible but unfortunately my foot slipped and my car collided slowly into the vehicle in front.
Both drivers and a passenger from each car got out to examine the damage and there were no scratches or dints on any of the bumpers (there are photographic evidence of the front of our car).
Hence forth, no damages were done to both vehicles, I cannot imagine any damage done to any drivers or passengers in both vehicles.
A passenger from my vehicle has had major back surgery (Scoliosis) which means her spine is curved and is sensitive to strong movement due to the metal rods inside her. I believe my passenger is more vulnerable than any normal being because of scoliosis.
As both vehicles were stationary with a limited amount of space between both cars, I was not able to speed up at such a speed to hurt anyone. (This is at the end of the car park with barriers)
Both driver and passenger from the car in front got out of the car, examined the vehicles. I had my pass plates on the front of the car.
So what are your opinion on this? who is at fault and who has highest pecentage of negligence? Please give me advice on this and is it possible to state some cases similar to mine.
Thank You
