Quote from a magistrate at Sutherland Local court in Sydney, in my case after a woman drove into my van after i had reversed out of a car park and bugun to drive away..

 

Magistrate.. I find you 100% Liable as you failed to take action to ensure the road was closed so as to prevent the possibility of an accident happening.

 

me..to my solicitor... Is he serioues? can you imagine the chaos every day as everyone closes roads so they can leave the carpark at a shopping centre!!!
