2012, Phil Cook remarked: Tyre manufacturing fault. Faults don't just happen. Caused. Debris blown on the road. Debris left lying about. Caused. Recent pothole. It would have to be pretty big to cause a blowout, so unreported, unseen or uninspected. Caused. Accidents don't just happen. And obviously, for a driver to fail to neutralise all those risks, makes him stupid. It would take Boltar only a few minutes of his valuable time. -- Roland Perry |

Anyone who thinks there's always someone to blame is either a legal parasite or living on another planet. The statements are entirely compatible - the accident caused by the blowout may not be under the control of the driver, but the tyre manufacturing fault is caused by the manufacturer, the debris is down to whoever left it where it could be blown on to the road, and the pothole is down to poor planning of maintenance by the highway authority. But these may not have legal liability, if the foreseeability of the accident was too remote, or the manufacturing/inspection regime was deemed satisfactory. Peter. |
