Things Your Not Sure Of

[whitie]

Was just wondering today, after seeing 2 Whitevan men almost bumping into each other:

Two vans going down the motorway side by side. One in the outside lane, one on the inside lane. They both indicate and move into the central lane at the same time and crash..... Who's in the wrong? (both going same speed etc)

Would probably go knock for knock wouldn't it?

Neither of them were at fault surely? But i'll bet there's something written somewhere that states one of them has right of way!!

I woulda thought that in theory the one in the fast lane should be overtaking, so should end up in front of the one in the slow lane and therefore more in the right

Hello and sorry for delay ! ........... I have only just seen this thread ! - Doh !

Hmm, that's a very tricky one ........ and I would imagine that a third party witness would be able to say which van moved over first, - however if there is not other witnesses.

It would go down to 50/50 blame !

Insurance companies would have to just sort it out ..........

wouldnt it be better to get them to both pull of at the next exit, find a layby, and last man standing gets to make the claim :D

I would tend to agree with Rodders on this. The guy in the inside lane is about to overtake so he should make sure its safe to overtake before doing so

if only bmw made vans, then the instance would never happen as they would both be in the outside lane anyway :winky:
